Daily Devotion:
“Peace, Be Still ...”
Matthew 11:28
The Passion Translation
28 “Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis.
If we are not at rest, we are not truly believing, because the fruit of believing is rest. Just as we can be involved in outward activity, we can be involved in inward activity.
God wants us not only to enter into His rest in our body, He also wants us to enter into His rest in our soul. Finding rest, relief, ease, refreshment, recreation, and blessed soul means finding freedom from wrong mental activity. It means not having to live in the torment of reasoning, always trying to come up with an answer I don’t have. I don’t have to worry instead. If we are truly believing God and trusting the Lord, we have entered into His rest.
We have prayed and cast our care upon Him and are now abiding in the perfect peace of His daily presence. You can speak His Word to your anxious mind just as Jesus spoke to the storm and said, “Peace, be still.”
