REST

Sonday greetings to all.

I have had an anxious and unsettling spirit all weekend. Effects my whole being and makes me unsettled and antcy. A lot of the time when I feel this way, I find God is working something in me or out of me. So in the meantime.....

I thought I would share some scripture on the topic of "rest." As I know I need it, and a lot of you out there need it. Now we need to apply it!

I am just as guilty as the next person by saying, "oh this is nice, wish it could be for me." Well, it can be!

Matt 11:28-30 (Amp) Come to me all you who labor (feel fatigue, work hard, toil, be wearied) and are heavy laden (to load up, overburdened w/ ceremony or spiritual anxiety) & overburdened, and I will cause you to rest (I will ease & relieve & refresh your souls) (be exempt, remain, refresh, take ease).

29 Take my yoke (coupling, pair of balances) upon you & learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) & humble (lowly) in heart and you will find rest (relief & ease & refreshment & recreation & blessed quiet) (intermission) for your souls.

30 for My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, pleasant), (easy, better, good, gracious, kind) & my burden (task, service) is light & easy to be borne.

I Peter 5:7-8 (Amp) Casting (fling) the whole of your care (all your anxieties & all your worries, all your concerns, once & for all) on Him for He cares for your affectionately & cares about you watchfully.
