Be still, and, Know that I am God (1)

Read: Psalm 46: 10; Exodus 33: 14; Matthew 11: 28-29; Psalm 55: 22, 16: 9; Proverbs 3:24

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted on the earth.

Psalm 46: 10

      I feel so tired today. I can't do the topic in those Psalms of David. I sensed that I need this topic to heal myself. Because nobody will believe what I have said or done! They pointed fingers at me. I need to trust and rest in God alone.

Rest principles:

(1) God's presence with go with you. (Exodus 33: 14)

      The Lord replied (Moses); "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Sometimes, we need God's presence and we can rest in God.

(2) Take burdens off (Soul in Rest)

       Matthew 11: 28-29 said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." We need to take our wearies and burdens off us. So that we can rest in God with our prayer, or Holy Spirit intercedes for us. (Romans 8:27)

      "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall." (Psalm 55:22) He will sustain you, because he cares for you, God will never allow the righteous one who fall in their weakness.

(3) Rest Secure in God

       Proverbs 3: 24 said, "who you lie down, your sleep will be sweet." It stands for you are no anxiety and worries. It is good for sleep sweetly. It is God who has given us.

         "Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices, my body also will rest secure." (Psalm 16: 9)  "I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustain me." (Psalm 3:5) And then "For he grant sleep to those he loves." (Psalm 127:2) After  "When I awake, I am still with you." (Psalm 139: 18) Another, in Psalm 4:8 said, "I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

      In conclusion, we need to declaim those Scripture Verses with our tongue. In order, we can rest and sleep well. Because God is with us when we awake every morning, for him who is faithful. Amen!

       Tomorrow, we will continue to talk rest again! I am here waiting for you!



 Be still or silence or rest and know that God is in control!
