The Way Back Home – God’s Rest
THE WAY BACK HOME
“God’s Rest”
Ruth 3:1 (NKJV)
“Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you? (Ruth 3:1)
TO HAVE GOD’S REST, WE HAVE TO LEARN:
1. To trust God in “difficulties”
“Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead.” (2 Cor. 1:9)
We have to trust God that Difficulties will:
- Draw us
- Position us
- Shape us
2. To trust God in “delays”
“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days…” (Dan. 10:13)
3. To trust God in “decisions”
His thoughts are not our thoughts, and His ways (decisions) not our ways (decisions)! (Isa. 55:11 – paraphrased)
