I feel restless inside. This is a common problem I have. Perhaps from past experience, or maybe because I think that I need to do something to succeed.
Do you feel that way right now?
Well, I want to encourage you today. This Scripture spoke to me when I saw it.
Psalms 116:7 Return to your rest, O my soul; for the LORD [Yahweh] has dealt bountifully with you. [GBMV]
It is always your soul and your emotions that get you down. And the more you give in to them, the less peace you will have.
You see, Satan can easily stir your emotions and get you out of rest and into striving. You can even be striving for God, thinking you are doing something good. But that is not rest.
To get out of this, return to resting in God. Think of the amazing things that He has done for you. And think of the amazing things He is still going to do in your life.
Yes, it is easier said than done. And it won’t get rid of the work you have to do today. But you will return to peace and trust in Him. See the good things and positive pictures. Speak them out and confess them.
Return to your rest because the Lord is going to do something good for you today.
Blessings
