Trust & Rest (D)

Read: Exodus 33: 14; Matthew 11: 28-29; Psalms 55: 22, 16: 9; Proverbs 3: 24; Psalms 3: 5, 127: 2, 139: 18

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 soul.

Matthew 11: 28-29

       Today we shall talk about the principle of Rest, you will enjoy Word of God who teaches you to rest and you take down your burden on Him, then we shall sleep well for His promises.

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

       The Lord replied (Moses) "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." God's presence will go with us, and He will give us rest. In His presence, there are rest we can find.

(2)  Take burdens off  (Soul in rest)

        In 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 soul." Jesus invites us who are weary and burdened, He will give us rest. When we learn from Jesus who withdrew after His ministry. Then he prayed, it is recharge again, so we will find rest for our souls, if we learn from Jesus, our Lord!

          In Psalms 55: 22 said, "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall." Cast our cares on the Lord, Jesus who will help us, because he will never let the righteous believers fall as He has promised.

(3)  Rest Secure and sleeping well.

       In Proverbs 3: 24 said, "when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet." Then Psalms 16: 9 said, "Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices." and 3: 5 said, "I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me." Moreover, in Psalms 127: 2 said, "for he grant sleep to me those he loves." and 139: 18 said, "My body also will rest secure, when I awake, I am still with you. (Sleep or rest well)" Then 4: 8 said, "I will lie down and sleep in peace for you alone, o Lord, make me dwell in safely." Thank to the Lord, Jesus who gives us soul and body rest, we shall sleep well and rest secure when you are with us. Because your peace is with us with safety and sweet rest. Therefore, Praise to the Lord for He has done for our body, soul and spirit rest! 

Good rest is with God!
