I will be speaking God's Word this week at the Trinity Youth Camp in Keystone Heights, FL. I am praying and trusting the Lord for fruit that will remain. I am thankful for this great privilege.
Thought for the Day
2 Chronicles 15:15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
During troubling times in their nation, there were those in Israel who lived with peace in their hearts and rest in their souls because the Lord gave it to them. Joy, peace, and rest are continually available to the people of God from God Himself! The key to this rest is when they "sought Him with their whole desire". It is not an outward conformity to religious observances or church traditions that brings rest, but a heartfelt desire to please the Lord and walk in His ways.
Application
Where do you look for rest? Anything less than seeking it form the Lord with your whole desire will leave you empty. Examine your desires today by recognizing what occupies your mind the most today and turn that care to the Lord.
