The river of rest | 5

“. . . and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11.28

Yesterday we looked at Jesus’ promise to give us rest and how this is based on what he has already done for us. Let’s look a little more at the nature of his gift to us.

The gift of rest to the weary and burdened is not a one-off experience, a single voucher that can only be used once. Rather it is a constant source of his working in our lives. Although many people can look back to singular experiences of the wonder of God’s love, times when they felt his presence in a special way or a touch of his grace and love, God’s rest and peace are not meant to be one-off experiences that we can record in our diaries. Instead, they flow from God in a constant stream to us and Jesus would be delighted if we sought his rest every single hour of every day.

God may have blessed you in the past, but will you go back to him today? God may have assured you of his love for you in days gone by but what if he is seeking to do it again now?

Take a moment to let him give you a fresh sense of his love and touch today. He is waiting, and all you have to do is come to him and ask.
