Rest from within

The bible tells us in the book of Genesis that God created everything in
the first six day and on the seventh day He rested. God rested not because
He was tired but He has completed the work of creation and there was
nothing more to create.

During the time of Aaronic priesthood, the priests were all standing for
their work were never completed. They had to go around carrying out the
duties as priest inside the tabernacle of Moses. The high priest during
those times were also standing for his work was not completed.

The Aaronic high priest wore garments made primarily of linen. This was so
so that the high priest will remain cool. This is so that he is cool
within, restful within for he is a picture of Jesus Christ.

Some two thousand years ago, Jesus died at the cross to divinely exchange
His position with God with ours. Just before He surrendered His spirit, He
had bequeathed His shalom to His people. The peace that surpasses all
understanding, He has bequeathed to us. He wants us to be restful winthin!

In the midst of a perfect storm, He wants us to be perfectly restful in
Him. In the midst of a painful trial, He wants us to leave the battle to
Him. In the midst of a fight with terminal diseases, He wants us to be
conscious of His stripe for by His stripe, we are healed, we are made
whole! In the midst of struggling relationship, He wants us to know He is
the superglue that holds all things together.

Nothing escapes the eyes of our Lord Christ Jesus. He is intimately
involved in our every endeavour, if only we would stop worrying and let God
takes over the situation. When He is in control, all things will turn out
to be beautiful and good. Cast all our casts upon Jesus for He cares. Be at
rest for the battle belongs to the Lord. Hallelujah!
