REST

 When you look around and all seems lost, take courage in Jesus.  He said that all who were laboring and without rest were to come to Him and He would give them rest!  How can He do that?  First of all we must remember that while on earth, He lived as we do - a man!  He was tempted in all ways such as we are, yet He did not sin.  He did that so He could give us comfort,  guidance, love, and understanding. If you are “laboring” alone, make Jesus your refuge.  He not only understands your labor, but He also has the answer.  He is the answer and He is your peace.  Rest in His love and be restored.

GLORIFY THE LORD

 Let us remember from day to day, to give glory unto the Lord that is due to His Name.  Psalm 96:7-10 KJV Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.  Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.  O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him all the earth.  Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously

FORGIVE AND FORGET

 As we live from day to day, many things that we do or say or think are not right according to God.  We must confess our faults to God and ask Him to cleanse us, forgive us, and help us with life.  He is willing to forgive us of our sin and He does not hold our sin against us when we repent.  On the other hand, people do things and say things to us that are not right.  What is out response?  Are we willing to forgive them or do we feel that we have the “right” to be angry with them?  How about if we forgive them, but do we forget the wrongful words or deed?  Do you keep in your memory banks a wrong that was done to you years ago and bring it back up to the person who was responsible for doing it as if it happened yesterday?  We must remember that God freely forgives and forgets.  We should do the same.

THE REFUGE

 Do you know what a refuge is?  It is a place of safety.  Sometimes we need a refuge in life.  Where is our refuge?  In the presence of God Almighty there is safety and peace.  Psalm 91 says, that our Almighty God will cover us with His presence as a mother hen cover her chicks with her wings.  Leave your problems, worries, fretting, discouragement, depression, disgust, and other things that could come between you and Your Father, outside the refuge.  Come into His presence and when you leave, you will find that those things that seemed overwhelming are nothing because you have experienced the POWER of the LIVING GOD and been in His presence.
