Life can get hectic. During the course of a day we can have many things coming at us. We juggle. We multi-task. All of this action leaves us anxious. For some, it causes anxiety. We worry. We fret. If things become too overwhelming days, weeks, months at a time, it can lead to depression.
The Bible has given us the perfect solution in handling a hectic life. We are to REST in Jesus! What does that mean? Well, we are to cast our cares on Jesus because He cares for us. When we do this we find PEACE, Clarity, Strength, Renewal, and Replenishment. Who would not want this!?
I have heard it said when we work God rests. In turn, when we rest God gets to work on our behalf. We can’t rest and fret at the same time. It is impossible to do. We have to decide if we are going to let go and let God. Or, if we are going to take things in our own hands. Making things happen in our maneuverings and manipulations. As many of us know, this is exhausting! Who wants to live this way?
Satan, the deceiver, has convinced some this is the way to live. He wants us to live in confusion and despair. When we truly embrace what God has provided for us, we experience the life Jesus died to give us. It is a gift! We can’t earn it. We do not deserve it. It is the gift that God has given each of His children who has accepted His son, Jesus Christ. What more we want? If we do find ourselves searching for more, know that it is Satan, the deceiver… You Choose. Love & Blessings!
