“Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Jesus
Matthew 11:28
HE SAYS, “BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD; I WILL BE EXALTED AMONG THE NATIONS, I WILL BE EXALTED IN THE EARTH.”
Psalm 46:10
Being still and Giving your burden to God, may look differently to everybody. But whatever it looks like for you, whatever God is leading you to do, if you feel overwhelmed or stressed out, it’s time to just go rest in the Lord.
Remember, although we are servants of the Lord, we cannot give, what we do not possess. In other words, you can’t encourage somebody and try to help them live their best life now, if yours is falling apart.
Even God rested and it wasn’t because he was tired from creating the earth, but I believe He was creating rest and renewal as an example for us to follow. He knew it would be crucial to our wellbeing.
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Genesis 2:2-3
Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
Psalm 62:1
We all face times when we try to do too much and eventually it will catch up with us and that’s when real trouble can begin.
Other battles we face can be personal issues; whether it’s finances, marriage problems, your workplace, friendships gone bad and the list can go on and on.
We were never meant to carry such heavy burdens on our own. Rather, we are to give it to the Lord a cast all our burdens on him.
Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
