September 17 Devotion - I will give you rest

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; ⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him,
 And He shall direct your paths. “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

     توكل على الرب بكل قلبك وعلى فهمك لا تعتمد. في كل طرقك اعرفه وهو يقوم سبلك تعالوا اليّ يا جميع المتعبين والثقيلي الاحمال وانا اريحكم

 Proverbs 3:5-6 

Matthew 11:28 

Come to me: I understand this phrase in the context of the new covenant to mean that the knowledge of God and His gift of grace are only available through Jesus and is an invitation to come to Him for salvation and to follow Him as His disciples.

I will give you rest: I understand that that this is the rest we get when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour and we are as a result redeemed, justified, reconciled, and sanctified.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and love. I praise You and glorify You.

Lord, give me wisdom not to lean on my own understanding and strengthen me Lord to always trust You. Direct my paths Lord to always follow Your Son Jesus Christ. Jesus, help me to always put all my worries and problems at the feet of Your Cross. I know that You will give me rest, peace, joy, and fill my heart with Your love, for You died for the forgiveness of my sins and to redeem me and declare me righteous in the eyes of the LORD.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
