Today’s Scripture: Like livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. So you led your people, to make for yourself a glorious name. Isaiah 63:14 ESV
I am so thankful for the rest I have found in the Spirit of the LORD.
Like Isaiah in 63:17 I often wonder why God made us so we could wander away from Him. Yet, ALWAYS when we exhaust all other searches for hope and rest He is faithful to save us and give us rest.
Exhausted and bloodied we often return to Him like His people in Israel and recognize His peace and His steadfast love. He never left us, we just wandered away. Wandered off chasing selfish desires or false promises this world offers.
When we pause to recall what God has done for His people of the scriptures we are made aware of His presence now. The same God, the same Spirit welcoming us now into His rest.
Remember or read the stories of old and you will find rest. Have you experienced the rest of the Spirit of the LORD?
Today’s Prayer: Mighty LORD, Mighty Savior thank You for picking me up and carrying me. Your Holy Spirit always welcomes me. Although I do not understand my tendencies to wander, I do know Your Spirit of love, rest and peace. Thank You LORD for giving me rest in You. Keep me in Your ways and help me to share this rest with others. Amen.
