Have you ever been tired? I mean REALLY TIRED: so weary that you are falling asleep while driving, or exhausted from working a double shift; so tired that you can barely think, and all you want to do is sleep, sleep, sleep.

Have you ever been there? Remember how it felt when you finally put your head down on the pillow and the sweet peace of rest came over you?

Friends, that’s how it feels when you stop fighting your own desires, your own ego, your own problems, and give them to the Lord for resolution.

The same peace that you felt when you rested after being so weary is yours when you ask Christ into your life.

The Psalmist (62:5) wrote: “Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him.”

True rest, real comfort, comes from a powerful, yet submissive, relationship with Jesus, so stop trying to fix things all by yourself and put your trust in Him.

He, and He alone, can you give you true rest. Pastor Jim.
