In
returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be
your strength. (Isaiah 30:15
While reading a book this week, I read a quote from a
Christian author who said “rest can be a weapon” for a Christ follower.
I never looked at rest in terms of a weapon, quite the
opposite actually. But, the more I
thought about it, the more I came to understand how true that statement was.
I began to recall times in my life when choosing to put my
heart at rest and trust God allowed me to overcome difficult circumstances.
I would even go so far as to say that there are very few
spiritual weapons greater than rest.
A heart at rest in God can overcome the greatest of storms.
A heart at rest in God can position us to hear God’s voice even
in the midst of chaos.
A heart at rest in God is able to trust Him even when we
can’t see where we are going.
A heart at rest in God is able to show love even when love
is not being reciprocated.
I challenge you to cultivate a restful spirit, a quietness
of soul this week, and watch how you will be able to rise above even the most
difficult of situations.
Rest in the hands of a Christ follower is a powerful
weapon.
