Finding Rest

How many times have we stopped to rest? Rest is something that at times we think we don’t need but in truth even Jesus rested. To find rest in the world today we look to many different avenues. Reading, social media, walking, or just taking a rest to watch tv to take our minds off of life. To find true rest lately for me has been to cast my cares on Christ and trust Him to provide the rest I need. Just as Jesus was sleeping in the boat as they crossed the sea a storm came and fear gripped the apostles. They woke Jesus up and asked him what do we do. We are going to die in this storm! Don’t you care that we perish they asked him. The answer we all want to hear in our hearts was the same answer he gave them, yes he cares and yes he desires for us to have rest in our souls from the storms of life for he is larger than any storm or unrest we face. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast or give all your fears, anxiety, worries on him for he cares for you. . Throw your cares overboard and let Jesus calm the storm and give you rest.

Amen
