July 21 devotional

Posted on July 21, 2013 by drscott

Ah.  Rest!  Our Creator rested on the seventh day.  God models rest for us.  Not that He needed rest, but, by design, He knew we would need times of rest and relaxation.  I hope and pray that you’ve found time to do that this summer.  Soon, we’ll all be back together again to sing, play and lead in worship.  What an honor!  May God bless you and yours as you bask in His glory and goodness.  Peace and Love, Scott

Rest In My Presence when you need refreshment.  Resting is not necessarily idleness, as people often perceive it.  When you relax in My company, you are demonstrating trust in Me.  Trust is a rich word, laden with meaning and direction for your life.  I want you to lean on, trust, and be confident in Me.  When you lean on Me for support, I delight in your trusting confidence.

Many people turn away from Me when they are exhausted.  They associate Me with duty and diligence, so they try to hide from My Presence when they need a break from work.  How this saddens Me!  As I spoke through My prophet Isaiah: In returning to Me and resting in Me you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.
