ENTERING HIS REST

 Psalm 62:1-2 

I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him. 

He alone is my rock and my salvation, 

my fortress where I will never be shaken.

David had such wonderful confidence in God that he could just rest in Him and wait quietly for Him to come through for him with the victory he was waiting for.

It ties in with Hebrews 4:7 So God set another time for entering his rest, and that time is today. v.11 So let us do our best to enter that rest...

God doesn't want us all up tight, stressed out or anxious about things, but makes His rest available to us all to enter into, but it's a choice we have to make, no one else can do it for us. v.7 continues...Today when you hear his voice, don't harden your hearts. In other words when we choose not to enter His rest we're hardening our hearts without maybe realising it. This verse reminds me I need to keep checking to see where I'm at - am I resting or not? Sometimes I'm not and I have to do some readjusting!😊 How about you?

David goes on to say how he does it, by reminding himself just who God is to him, how He is the only true rock He has, He is His salvation in every circumstance of life, He is His fortress he can run to. Then he reminds himself that as long as he rests in all of that he will never be shaken.

The enemy likes trying to shake us off balance doesn't he, but as long as we do like David and keep reminding ourselves just who God is to us and how wonderful His love is for us then the Lord will hold us rock solid steady and we too will never be shaken no matter what does or doesn't happen, and that is something we can also rest in.😊 Praise the Lord. Thank You Lord.
