God calls us to rest!

~ One hand full of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after the wind (Ecclesiastes 4:6 NASB)
~ There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For her who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. (Hebrews 4:9-10)
~ Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30 NASB)

I am re-reading a great book right now. I pull it out whenever I begin to feel burdened by my calling as an intercessor. Beni Johnson's The Happy Intercessor. It is a wonderful book and I find new ideas in it each time I read it (this has to be at least the 5th time I've read it through, I've picked it up for just a chapter more times than I can count).

So this week I choose REST. This will be a daily, hourly choice I will have to make. I will rest in the Lord. I will not strive to perform. I know that I am accepted and loved by God. There is nothing that I can ever do to make Him love me more! He wants what is best for us, for me. Right now I must stop all this busy work and rest!
