God Gives Rest

Follow Him and find rest

Today's Through the Bible Reading: Exodus 33:7–35:35

Abbreviated Reading: Exodus 33:7-23

“The Lord replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Exodus 33:14

It's true, where God guides, He provides. He led Israel out of Egypt and through the wilderness. In the desert He provided not only food and water, but His presence and peace.

God remains true to His Word and His promises. Here is one we can bet our (eternal) lives on:

Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

God promises to take us from glory to glory and we will arrive safely on the other side, guaranteed (2 Corinthians 3:18). We can rest on that promise. What He has begun in our life, He determines to finish - He will accomplish it. He didn’t leave creation half-finished and He won’t leave the work He started in you only partially completed. So don’t struggle along the way, as He reveals sin, let Him purge it; as He grows you, don’t dig your heels in. Listen and obey, His plans are good and He is trustworthy.
