rest

'So relax in the Spirit - and let Him lead you to find rest - even finding rest can not be done in the flesh - we can screw up even the most basic act - right?'

I just finished an email to a friend with the above line ... as I wrote it I knew it was from the Lord ... because once again - I can not think this stuff up!

We must be led in the Spirit in everything! Even to finding rest! Our flesh is dead and useless. It can never do anything to please God. It will never do anything eternal. And it certainly can not lead us to find rest. Rest is only found in God - when we fully believe that He is who He says He is - then we can rest in His amazing character - we rest in truth - we rest in Him.

When we finally own that truth - how much freedom will there be? I can only imagine! Because then I will finally get that the Spirit must have everything in me at His disposal - to wield as He wills. Only He can lead me to truth and rest.

Oh open me wide, Father... set me free Jesus, and fill me up to overflowing Spirit!
