SELAH 🤔🤔🤔🤔 MOMENT.

" Rest is more than lying down to sleep at night, though it is a part of the process. 

It speaks of having a calmness in one's spirit, soul and body that keeps out any form of agitation, pain, fear or regret.   

 

It is having the capacity to face and handle storms, troubles, etc head-on and coming out unruffled on the other side as was so in the case of Daniel and his three friends (Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego). This here helps us to see that we are not exempted from life's challenges, storms but rather it (REST) helps us through the pains that may come our ways as we journey forward in the LORD JESUS CHRIST unto perfection in HIM. 

PARTING WORD : Let us labour by the help of the HOLY SPIRIT in prayers and in the Word (the Scriptures) so as to be enabled to enter(gain access) into this kind of Rest which HE alone can deliver,  give in full measure and not in the scarcity measure such that most overtly

 money minded merchants operate with. 

When we have so acted as highlighted above, Rest automatically becomes our default mode of operation in this world that  Rest in its truest form is viewed as a very tall order or story for the gods. 

May HIS Rest be our portion on a daily basis as we learn of HIM and learn  correctly from HIM, the art of Rest which HE has on offer for those that love HIM according to HIS Word.

FOOD 🍝 FOR THOUGHT 🤔.

" Learn to listen closely to people that you meet daily, work closely with in the same office, do business with, as they are in no small way passing a message across which are not usually written out in black and white but quite useful to your journey if only you would take time to listen in. Or they could be the access card to the information you have so longed to get at, the opportunity you are greatly in need of, the rescue you thought was just nothing,  but a dream, the exclusive reserve of a select few.

The reason for this in most cases is that the LORD'S packages for us most times don't come to us in the kind of wrappers that we expect them to be delivered in.

Peace to you, dear friend and reader as you journey forward and as you make your judgements about people, events around you in the precious name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Amen!
