Bible Verse of The Day – 11-28-20

Exodus 33:14 (NKJV) 14 And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

The times are drawing near where we are beginning to see some things we had probably all hoped wouldn’t happen in our lifetime.

Corruption and perversion are on the rise more than ever. It’s blatant, and the worst part about it is that it’s openly allowed.

It’s not questioned by the authorities. It’s given permission by the very ones we thought would protect us from it.

We need to remember that no one can protect us but God.

We have to know this. We have to know that as believers our protection comes from Him and Him alone.

We need to be with Him, oh so closely, hearing His word to us. We can’t be listening to too much of the news and other stuff that is happening. It can cause us to be in deep distress.

The Lord spoke to me just last week. He said, I want you to rest. I said, “Lord I don’t feel like I am tired.” But God never goes back on His word or explains His answer to us. It’s up to us to stay focused and do what He says.

So, I took the day and tried so hard to rest. My mind was not having it. Everything on the news, everything on the Internet, and everything in the atmosphere was crazy. How does one shut down?

I then realized what my good and gracious Lord was telling me. Rest my head. Get away from all the talk, from all the problems, and just rest my mind.

When I finally got what it was He was telling me, I could actually feel the results of the fatigue that had built up. I was mentally exhausted.

What did I do to relax? I vacuumed my house! I did things that I didn’t have to think about. And I love vacuuming!!

For me it’s very rewarding, with no thinking involved.

So, if you are in deep stress today, maybe like me you don’t feel like you are, but God is saying, “bring it down a notch”.

Do something that doesn’t require you to have to think.

REST your mind.
