REST IN GOD.
We have true rest
when God has rest in the soul. There is too much hurry and work and drive, and
desire, too, in most souls. There is a Sabbath of the soul, that is known after
this work is finished; God knows how many of His children attain thereto.
It is not till
the giving has been as entire on our part as the taking is on His, that we
rest; are satisfied with the events as they come up and cease asking, “Why is
this?” But if we give so that we are not inclined to take into our hand again
that which has been placed on the Altar, He will go on with His work, the
perfecting of our souls, the making us over into the divine.
Dear friends,
have you learned to be satisfied with what God brings you each day? That is,
are you content in the life you now life, counting it from God; content in the
condition in which you are now, or are you continually calling out for more?
“Give us this day
our daily bread” is well. But, having asked, this true rest means satisfaction
in God that He is giving, has given, this daily bread. May God give you rest in
Him.
