Rest on Sunday only?

Many, if not all, of us are lifted in our spirit when we attend church service where the Word of God is been preached and taught. At the church service, we believe every word of the bible that is been preached. We don't doubt that our negative circumstances will turn around for the better. It is like we are able to rest at the end of the pool after a long swim across the pool.

The challenge comes when it is Monday. We forget about the precious word of God that has been preached. We quickly forget that Jesus is doing mighty work in our lives. We focus on our natural senses and see our challenges bigger than Jesus.

Then comes Tuesday, Wednesday, and all the way to Saturday. We use our natural resources to deal with our situations. There is no God's involvement in all the things that we do. We feel we have to get things done if not nobody will turn things around. We live lives like there is no God. It is like we just continue to swim across the pool all over again. We don't stop to rest cause we can't rest at the deep end of the pool.

God wants us to be at rest. Jesus had bequeathed His peace into our lives. Guard your heart against all guardings for out of it springs forth the issues of life. Keep your heart at rest and peace. When we are restful, God works "overtime" to turn our situations for our good. Praise be to God, for He is good. His mercy endures forever.
