Oh, That's What Rest Is!

"The Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." —Matthew 11:28 NLT

"In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe." —Psalm 4:8 NLT

"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!" —Isaiah 26:3 NLT

Our best rest happens when we lie down at night as we put our cares to the side and trust the bed to hold us up until morning. Our worst night's sleep occurs when we take life's concern to bed and mull them over in our mind, refusing to let the bed comfort us until morning. 

Hmm!? Now I know what God means when He tells me to enter into His rest. His desire is that I would completely trust Him with all burdens. It's only then that I'll be able to to truly rest and enjoy the life He has given me.
