Rest in God’s mercy

 

Learning to rest is a challenge sometimes. Many people have busy schedules and a list of commitments that can leave them feeling drained and exhausted by the end of the day or week. But Jesus told us that he gave us peace that transcends our understanding. It is not peace that comes from completing our to do lists. 

When addressing the business of life, Jesus invited people who were stressed out, burdened with life’s cares and who were overworked from their daily lives to come to him and find rest. He invited them to rest in God’s provision and mercy. King David also spoke of resting in God when he said God’s mercy is new every morning. 

Open your life up to God and let him give you peace and rest today. Ask him how you can calm your mind and unburden yourself from the stress of life.
