Stop Fighting

Sometimes when you feel alone, surrounded by the enemy, and in the middle of the battlefield, it's time to stop fighting.  Let God fight this battle for you. Be still.  Stay calm.  Rest in Him.  Let God tell you when it's time to rest and when it's time to fight.

“The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm."  -Exodus 14:14

Rest

When situations force you to take time to rest it's amazing how the Lord can reveal new or old things to you. He can use this quiet time to remind you of things you already know, like who He is, and who you are in Him. These simple reminders can change our perspective and refocus us to an eternal one. Only God can heal a broken body, wandering spirit, and wounded heart. It takes time, it takes rest, it takes being gentle to ourselves. Find rest my soul, in Christ alone!

"For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us." -- Psalm 62:5-8
