Rest

Rest

Picture coming home after a good day's work. Picture yourself in your recliner with a tall, cold, glass of ice tea. A good book in your lap.

Or maybe an Astro's game on the radio.

That's rest. Or at least restful.

But that's not real rest.

Noah sent out a dove from the ark. She flew all over her world and never found rest. When she returned to the ark, Noah took her in. Noah's name means "rest".

You will never find rest in the world. Only in Jesus. "Come unto me," Jesus said. "And I will give you rest."

People look for rest everywhere but in Jesus. They waste their lives trying to satisfy their soul with things that are temporary.

True rest can only be found in Jesus.

Do you need rest today? Try Jesus. You will find...

REST
