Spend some time with God, then have a rest.

I'm just getting back from the a seminar, so I admit this is a repost of my blog from Sunday, February 15, 2009. I know it still applies to me today, hopefully you will enjoy it again.

This is a reminder to spend some time in the presence of Jesus today. Make sure you take time not just to be blessed by God, but to worship in such a way that you will bless Him.

Receive the fact that God has made available everything you need for salvation, life, and godliness.

Recommit to living your life as a holy offering for the One who gave His life for you. Spend some time today keeping your repentance "up to date". Confess your every sin.

Resolve to walk in the enabling power of the Holy Spirit that you might have no "known sin".

Renew your desire to be a soldier of God, who will not be ashamed to boldly declare the Truth found in Jesus.

Rest in this word from God, spoken through the prophet Isaiah (30:15)... This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength,...

In case you don't know how this verse ended for the people of Isaiah's day, he concluded God's message this way...."In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength,... but you would have none of it."How about spending some time with God today, then have some rest.

Live holy, preach Jesus!
