					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>God is calling out to us and he is asking, “How long will you try to do things in your own effort and strength”? All the meanwhile we ignore Him and remain in a state of stress, worry and fear. We find ourselves exhausted and nothing to show for all of our efforts. Stop trying to do it all yourself, invite God to be God and trust his ability to bring you into your promised land. He will do it and it will be without sorrow.</p>
<p>It’s kind of like debt, we purchase things we have no right purchasing, we put it on credit and go into debt all because we didn’t want to trust God and wait on his timing. In doing so we cause ourselves great stress, not only ourselves but our relationships as well. Basically we strive and rely on our own sufficiency and it only causes frustration! This is not so with God, for the blessing of the Lord makes one rich and he adds no sorrow with it (Proverbs <span class="aBn" tabindex="0" data-term="goog_1128986602"><span class="aQJ">10:22</span></span>). In the same way (in all areas of your life) God wants to bring his blessing without sorrow. <strong>God wants to bring an ease to life so that even in the storm we can have peace.</strong> So what is God saying to us today?</p>
<p>I believe He is saying this:</p>
<p>&#8211;<strong>Rest</strong> in my love for you</p>
<p>&#8211;<strong>Rest</strong> in my peace</p>
<p>&#8211;<strong>Rest</strong> in my care for you</p>
<p>&#8211;<strong>Rest</strong> in my ability</p>
<p>&#8211;<strong>Rest</strong> in my leadership</p>
<p>&#8211;<strong>Rest</strong> in my grace</p>
<p>Did you get it? He is inviting us to enter in to His rest…<strong>Let’s enter in!</strong></p>
<p>~John</p>
<p>“Anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work…Let us therefore make every effort to enter into that rest…” Hebrews 4:10-11</p>
<p><strong>“…We set our hearts at rest in His presence.”</strong> 1 John <span class="aBn" tabindex="0" data-term="goog_1128986603"><span class="aQJ">3:19</span></span></p>
