Be At Rest

Jesus is always at rest and He is never hurried. He knows exactly what He
is doing and He always does it on time.

Jesus has bequeathed His Shalom peace to us. He had borne the crown of
thorns on our behalf so that we will have the peace of mind and heart and
the clarity of thoughts. With His perfect love, we need to fear no more for
His perfect love casts out all fear.

Jesus is never hurried. He always has time for those He loves, that's you
and me. When Lazarus was sick and subsequently died, Jesus just made His
way to the Lazarus' tomb. When He was there, He simply called forth the
dead Lazarus and he was immediately raised from the dead.

On the way to heal Jarius' sick daughter, Jesus had time to assure the
woman with the issue of blood of His love for her. When Jarius was informed
that he daughter had died, Jesus told Jarius not to be fearful but only
believe in Him and His promise that He will heal his daughter.
Subsequently, Jesus brought Jarius' daughter back to life. Jesus always has
time for those who come to Him and place their demands on Him.

When the children of Israel were facing the Red Sea and the roaring army of
Egypt hot on their heels, Jesus came as the fire to stop the charging
Egyptian army from moving forward and God split open the Red Sea for the
children of Israel to cross over.

Beloved in Christ, be at rest and know that God deeply loves us and He
wants to take care of our every want and need. He will never allow the
righteous souls to famish. He will always deliver. He will always provide.
God may seem to be slow in His deliverance but He is always on time. He
will always make all thing good for those in Christ.

When we are faced with dire straits, be at rest for we have a loving and
mighty God who is more than able to bring us out of our difficult trials.
Trust in His love for us. His timing is perfect. Hallelujah!
