HE GIVES US REST

"And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest."

Exodus 33:14
King James Version

Are you tired and feel like you can't take another step? Jesus knows how it feels to be tired and need to rest. We read about this in the Bible.

"Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink." John 4:6, 7

We read in the Bible "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28  If ever I needed rest, it is now.

One of my pastors in Texas said in a sermon "If satan isn't attacking you, then you need to ask yourself you're serving Jesus. I must be doing something right because satan is working overtime with his attacks on me.

We read in the Bible. "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." 1 John 4:4

No matter how much satan attacks me and how discouraged I get, I am going to stay on the battlefield for Jesus just as He stayed on the cross for me.

Are you willing to say to Jesus "I love You and I will stay on the battlefield for You just as You stayed on the cross for me. I can't do it without You.

Jesus tells us He will help us in John 15:5. "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.".

Even though it hurts a lot when satan attacks me, I am so glad that with the help of Jesus, I can stay on the battlefield for Him. What about you? Are you willing to stay on the battlefield for Jesus as He stayed on the cross for you?

I love You so much, dear Jesus and look forward to the happy joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face. Think about it! We are going to see our Saviour face to face. Are you shouting with happiness yet?
