THOSE WHO WAIT UPON THE LORD...
Look with me at Isaiah 40:29-31. It's been one of the most important scriptures of my life: He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might, He increases strength.... Those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power...they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.
Waiting on God is the key to overcoming weariness and finding rest. One way we do this is by spending personal time with Him-through prayer, reading His Word, or by simply sitting quietly in His presence. When we spend time with God, He "increases strength." He re-energizes our minds and spirits. He gives us a super- natural rest and ability.
I'll be honest, I would not be where I am today without spending a lot of time with God, waiting on Him to change and strengthen me. It's probably the number one thing I would tell anyone to do if they want to have a great life-if they want to grow, change and enjoy divine peace and rest.
We also wait on God when we "expect, look for, and hope in Him." He wants us to actively look for Him, long for Him, and expect His goodness around every corner. He wants us to have faith that at any moment He will bring the answer to our prayers.
Remember, God never gets weary! And when you get weary, He wants to help you. God wants you to live with His power so you can have peace and joy in your everyday life.
Look with me at Matthew 11:28. It's a scripture I will reference several times in this book. Jesus says, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and over- burdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls]."
Jesus offers us rest. It's the rest we need to live in the world and deal with stressful situations without letting them upset us, ruin our health or steal our joy. It's a supernatural rest we can only find through a personal relationship with Him-it's not something we can find in the world.
What is our part? We simply need to go to Him!
Jesus never promised us we'd have a trouble-free life, but He said we can live above our circumstances. With His grace, wisdom, peace and strength, we can deal with stress and trouble and maintain a good attitude. His rest is a rest we can have in our souls-our mind, will and emotions.
Having this rest is like giving your soul a vacation! It means that
no matter what's going on, you don't have
to worry about it and try to figure everything out. It's a wonderful place to be, because when your soul is at rest in Christ, your emotions are stable and you have peace.
