REMAINING IN THE REST OF GOD. 

🎧

““You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation].”  Isaiah 26:3 AMP

HAPPY DAY TO YOU: What happens to a soul that is rested in the Lord? From my own experience and experiences of others whose stories I am part of, the first thing that happens is the soul becomes at peace with the thought fixed on a scripture or nature of God. This is followed by joy with your thought resting accomplished in the word of God on which your soul has taken refuge even when nothing has happened in the physical realm. Some years back, I had knee and back pain that was almost making movement impossible yet I had to do school runs everyday. My thoughts were running through what could result from  the pain and the fearful medical intervention I may have to follow. I kept repeating to myself that ‘by the stripes of Jesus I was healed even before the pain showed up and that in Christ I live, move and have my being’. When these scriptures settled deep into my soul, it entered into a rest and I was not down one day. However, this is the most interesting part that one needs to hold on to for the soul to continue at rest. The thought of the pain and its possible consequences would come like trying to wake up my resting soul to start worrying again. I silenced the thought by saying my two scriptures to myself until my soul becomes at rest again. In the restful position of my soul, I noticed that my diet changed as well as some of my habits. Then the pain was reduced till it all disappeared.

Resting your soul in God is not laziness, it is reviving the soul and listening for instructions on what you are to do. 

Today’s Exercise: Thank You Lord for making me know that resting my soul and fixing my thoughts on You is not laziness or thoughtlessness. Rest in You is the way of peace that leads me to my desire. Teach me to hold on to You. 

Say to yourself ten times and as often as possible “My soul takes his rest on the promise of Jesus and it won’t let go”.

  1. Thanks Aunty Bose. Isaiah 26:3 is forever in my mind since the day I got a revelation from it. Despite all the blizzard of life, my soul, mind, and spirit rests assuredly in Him. No shaking rara.
