“I won’t advance in stress, I will only advance in rest.”
Years ago, God showed me that in His grace, He gave to His kids what everyone else has had to work so hard for.
By our own strength, we think that we have to work harder to move forward. We insist that we must earn our progress and pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. God instructs us to trust by resting in Him and His abilities.
When the Egyptians were chasing the Israelites to the Red Sea and there was no way out, God told Moses, all you need to do is standstill.
Sure, there are times when God will ask us to do certain things and we should obey, but there are also times God asks us to stop stressing and start resting.
In God’s rest, you will move forward.
Zechariah 4:6
“So He said to me….Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.
Be encouraged today because God is with you.
