Today, I am being reminded that what makes God happy is not when I do it all. God is not a taskmaster who just loves to pile on more and more work on us.

Instead, what makes God happy is when I intentionally rest in Him, seek God first in all things, do what He directs me to do, go in the way He directs me to go, always abiding in Jesus.

Dear Friends, we can only find true rest when we remain in Jesus:
Matthew 11:28 -29, NLT Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.




You and I have nothing to prove to anyone – God’s approval is all that matters!

Who is our source? Who determines our success? Who determines what impact we make in this world? GOD!

What does God want from us? To remain in Him, To do our part as he leads us, and to trust God to do His part. (Do your best and let God do the rest!)

What does God want me to always remember? My life is in God’s hands! My future is in God’s hands! I have no reason to worry or fear, as long as I remain in Jesus!

He restores my soul. He renews my strength. He encourages me and strengthens me! (Related: Choosing Jesus over the world)

Psalm 62:5, NIV Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.
Psalm 23:3, ESV He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Matthew 6:34, NIV Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Dear Friends: God is my happiness ; God is my happy place ; God is our source ; God is my rest.

God doesn’t expect me to do it all, God only expects me to do my part!
God doesn’t expect me to be all things to all people,
God only expects me to be who God created me to be!
God doesn’t expect me to be successful in my own power, my success comes from God alone!

So how do we find rest in God? By remembering that He alone is our source, Our help comes from God, and our lives are in His hands! In other words:

Remain in JesusMake Jesus Your Priority;
Don’t worry, Trust God;
Seek God first in all things;
Living for an audience of one; and
Trusting God one day at a time.

Dear Friends, Never Forget: God’s got your back! Rest in Him.
