Rest

J.A. Matteson

"Shout joyfully to God, all the earth" (Ps. 66:1). Are you tired, anxious, irritable, and distracted? Turn your heart toward the LORD Most High who governs your path; He will lead you beside still waters. Are you confused by your circumstances? Inquire of Him who causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. Slow down and behold Christ Jesus high and lifted up: for He reins over all. Submit your aspirations and hopes to His wise council and His peace which transcends all understanding will guard your heart and mind. Rest, oh my soul, in the LORD of Hosts who battles for me in the face of evil. Sing to the LORD a new song, shout His praise to the heights of heaven. For the LORD is good and His lovingkindness endures forever.
