It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”

Tired? Learn to Rest in God

Who has never felt overwhelmed with so much work? The long hours at work or school, the endless household chores, so many people demanding attention and help... There's no time to rest!

In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to forget about God. He is by your side, waiting for you to take a moment to say, "God, can you help me with all of this? I can't do it alone."

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
-- Matthew 11:28

God wants to give you rest. In Psalm 23 God is referred to as The Good Shepherd, leading his flock to rest by calm waters. His rest is restorative, he refreshes the souls of those who follow when he leads.

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.

Psalm 23: 1-3

So, in his comfort, there is restoration and renewal. You don't have to do everything alone. Have you taken a few minutes today to rest in God?

Discover the 3 pillars of the Christian life

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

- 1 Corinthians 13:13

What is most important for the Christian life? Obeying the rules? Doing good things? The Bible teaches that the most important thing is to have faith, hope, and, above all, love. Without love, nothing we do has value, even if it is something incredible. So, our main focus should be on growing in these 3 areas.

Look deep into your heart and ask God to show you how you can be made stronger in these areas. Do you need more faith? Remember what God has done for you and what Jesus means in your life. Renew your commitment to Him and delight in the joy of your salvation.

But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

- Romans 10:8-10

Maybe you need to strengthen your hope. Don't forget that God holds the future in His hands and His plans for your life are good.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

- Jeremiah 29:11

But if your need is to fill your heart and your life with more love, go to the source of love: God.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

- 1 John 4:7-9
