A Man of Rest

"One Year Bible" Old Testament History Passage
I Chronicles 22:1-23:32

Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest... I Chronicles 22:9 (NKJV)

God's plans always are fulfilled out of peace and rest. A busied and frenzied spirit cannot carry out God's best plans. Solomon's name means "peace". It is under his rule that the house of God is built.

Throughout Scripture, peace and true rest are at the center of God's will. When we believe God, we come to a place of rest. When we receive His righteousness, peace is imparted.

This does not mean "inactivity". Remember, God's house is BUILT in this rest.

Are you walking in God's rest today?

  1. I love His version of rest. I find my projects seem to take on a life of their own and they guide me in the next step or steps to take. God's plan is always active on my behalf. I cannot do anything on my own. I need Jesus to lead me, love me and laugh with me. Always makes my day a lot brighter!!!
