Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2018 September 3

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made” (Genesis 2:1-3)

Today’s Morsel:  If we are not careful, we can get so busy in the nonessentials of life that we don’t have time to rest and gain more strength for our next task.  Sad to say, more people are burnt out, fatigued, depressed, and stressed out because they are working in their own strength.  Paul wrote that we are laborers together with God…” (1 Corinthians 3:1-9).  If we are working with Him, then shouldn’t we have plenty of rest since the Holy Ghost is The Rest?  His word says that He gives rest to the weary.  "Come unto to me, and I will give you rest."  Spend time with Him daily, and allow Him to give you rest. 

Sing:  I lean on You, Lord, I lean on You Lord.  For the things that I need I lean on You.   When I don’t know just what to do, I’ve got the faith You’re going to see me through.  You supply my every need and I lean on You.

Thought For Today:  Stay yoked with Jesus and you won’t be tired.
