Romans 4:18-22, Matthew11:28
Having rest in the midst of hard times is necessary. Rest is a personal experience which originates from within us, when we totally rely on the promises of God. You see rest is not just being physically inactive but rather it is a spiritual directed activity.
Rest is when you face the realities of life and still believe God for a miracle just as Abraham did when against all hope, he in hope believed God for a miracle without wavering through unbelief; God credited his account with righteousness. Hallelujah!
Brethren for us to enjoy the rest or the promises of God, we have to believe that God has called to give rest to every one who labours with heavy ladened. As you embrace this gracious call and heed, you will be relieved of your heaviness for the rest and the refreshment of God. Shalom.
