Rest for Weary Souls

By Wanda

Ps 62.1

In our hectic lives, there is a place to find rest. Psalms 62:1 reminds us that soul rest came be found in God alone. True salvation is not found in the hands of others but God.

Troubles causing dis-ease?

Weary from attempting to work out your situation?

Feel as if you need to make some things happen?

Perhaps what the situation really calls for is rest.

God, the one and only-I’ll wait as long as he says. Everything I need comes from him, so what not? Ps 62:1 (The Message)

      May you find rest in Him Arlee. It’s a message I needed this week as well.

    Yes, Wanda. Absolutely. I just got through studying the Israelites journey to freedom, and I find that most of their troubles were rooted in RESTLESSNESS. Let us rest in You, Lord. Increase our faith; strengthen us.

      Restlessness gets us in all sorts of trouble. I have been enjoying reading your thoughts about the Israelite journey.

      Yes the Message has a way of communicating in vivid and concise language. I love comparing translations because I often get a fresh perspective.

    Hi Wanda! Thanks for stopping by to see me today!

    What a lovely thing to give permission to rest! We all almost need that reminder daily. Rushing from here to there…you just grind yourself down. So sad. Better to be rested and ready to face the day anew!

    Happy weekend!

      Hi Dawn, I pray your week and year of homeschooling goes well. I’m always awed when I read about parents homeschooling their children. What a great way to pour into your children.

    So true my friend! A beautiful picture, might I add! 😉 Matthew 11:28…”Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He is MORE than enough! Thanks so much for sharing Wanda and thanks for linking up…have a wonderful week!

      Michell, that’s one of the scriptures I was reading last night as I was researching what the Bible had to say about labor. God truly thought of everything we He created us.
