01 | Finding True Rest in God's Strength

This is what the Lord says:

“Stand at the crossroads and look;
    ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
    and you will find rest for your souls.
    But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’"

Jeremiah 6:16 NIV

Feeling worn out? Like you’re constantly running on life’s treadmill, trying to keep up, but just can’t catch your breath? If that sounds familiar, you might be chasing after the kind of security this world offers – things like money, success, approval, or even the love from those around you. But here’s the thing: these earthly things, as good as they may seem, they’re shaky foundations. They can’t satisfy the deepest longings of your heart or shield you from life's storms.

When we start living for God and relying on His strength, not ours, that's when we find peace for our souls. It’s not about striving harder; it’s about resting in His power and grace.

Remember, true rest doesn't come from what we achieve or accumulate, but from knowing we are God's beloved and living in His strength. Let's shift our focus from chasing temporary comforts to embracing the eternal peace and rest that Jesus offers. In Him, we find the strength to face life's challenges and the peace to calm our weary souls. Let Go and Let God!!
