REST IN GOD

TEXT:- Matthew 11:28
Christ Apostolic Church Gospel Hymn 831 "They that trust in the Lord are secured. Though the storm rages dark o'er the sea, for this anchor of promise is sure" .......
The heart is restless until it finds it rest in God. No heart can truly know rest until it finds its rest in God.

The reason is highlighted in the story of creation in Genesis chapter 1. To create fish, the whales and all other creatures inside the ocean, God spoke to the water and they come forth. This is why fish can not survive outside the water, if you dare, move fish out of its natural habitat, it will die.

Man's case was different, according to Genesis 1:26, God spoke to Himself that, "Let us make man in our own image and in our likeness". God created man out of Himself. If man now decides to live independent of God, he will miss purpose. He will malfunction. It is the source of a thing that sustains it.

Man is a direct product of God. If he / she refuses to get connected to his or her source, which is God, he will remain miserable for the rest of his / her life. There is a God shaped vacuum in every human and nothing can fill it perfectly outside God. Many have tried to fill the vacuum with pleasure, comfort work, money etc. But they always end up more miserable. This is because the heart is restless until it find its rest in God. Receive the grace to rest on God. Your life shall never remain the same. God bless you (Amen).

God bless you (Amen).
