Did you know that there is tremendous power in resting?
Absolutely!
When we choose to rest in faith in Jesus’ life in us, He empowers us with His strength to handle all of life’s circumstances.
What did Jesus say in John 15?
“If you abide in Me and My Word abides in you, you will bring forth much fruit.”
He didn’t say, “work harder, try harder not to sin, do more ministry.”
No, Jesus said rest in My life in you and watch My life bear fruit through you!
Our lives are completely safe and secure in Jesus.
Believing this truth empowers us with His life to boldly navigate the waters of life.
Life becomes more about Jesus and less about us.
We will not freak out at life’s storms because, like Jesus, we will take no offense at them, as we find our rest in our Father’s hands.
Beloved, Jesus said that both He and His Father hold us in Their hands, and NO ONE can snatch us out of Their hands…not Satan, not ISIS, no anyone.
Resting in His love and life in us becomes the energy that empowers us to deal with every circumstance and person we come across.
How do we stay focused on this precious truth?
We simply remind ourselves throughout the day by saying, “Thank You, Jesus, for doing this through me,” or “Thank you, Jesus, for Your love and that I am safe in Your hands,” or “Thank You, Jesus, that I am righteous in You and so is….”
Beloved, setting our minds on God’s Truth helps us to rest in His love.
So, whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, excellent, and praiseworthy, let your mind dwell on these things and God’s rest will empower you.
Blessings!
