My resting place
Psalm 42:5
Why art thou cast down my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.
A resting place is an environment in which you can relax and refresh yourself after a hard day’s work or after any difficult assignment.
A spiritual resting place , is a bit different, when you are battle weary, depressed or frustrated and your soul is downcast, the verse above says put your hope in God. That is how you will find rest.
Putting your hope in God involves:
-Restraining yourself from fretting and worrying
– With the firm assurance that God will make a way or resolve the issue
This attitude or direction is given in Philippians 4:6-7
Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all yet that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give thee rest
This verse from the new testament says when you feel over-burdened with your challenges go to the Lord. Which is the same as putting your hope and trust in God
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Take all your troubles to King Jesus and He will give you rest.
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymn
My faith has found a resting place
Not in device nor creed
I trust the everliving one
His wounds for me shall plead
I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me
Amen
