Rest Well In Jesus

Today I’m baptizing a good friend and brother in Christ. He has received the gift of eternal life, repented, and chosen to follow hard after Jesus Christ. No longer does he have to fear death, for it is now a gateway to life.  He dwells in safety in the house and presence of the LORD.  Peacefully he rests; confident that the Lord has atoned for all of his sins and will walk with him to the end of the age.  He need not ever worry or fear again. In fact, his spirit of fear has been replaced by a spirit of boldness and adoption The LORD has done an amazing work in him in the last year.  What joy overflows in my heart as we celebrate the newness of life.  When we rest well in the person and work of Christ, we rest well physically also. Praise God for His great mercy and love!

Reflection

If you are a believer, are you resting peacefully as your head hits the pillow?

Are you confident and filled with joy as you walk out your day?

Are you believing that Jesus is all you need?

Carve out time every day, multiple times a day to remember how God rescued and redeemed you. Praise Him for His great love and mercy out loud, especially when you rise up and when you lay down. He is our life!

Prayer

Thank you Father that you have made a way for me and all those who call upon Your name. You have covered our inquiry and given us new life.  May our lives reflect the beauty of Your grace and glorify Your name, Amen!
