Jesus is our shelter, safety, protection and refuge. He is our sanctuary (a holy oasis overflowing with abundance). He is our Peace. His Grace is more than enough for us. Be still and rest in every good and perfect thing that He has established for you. Let go of striving. Don’t ignore the abundant table already set before you by your Heavenly Father. Theres nothing you can gain on your own that Jesus hasn’t already accomplished and sealed for you at the Cross. His victory is insurmountable–eternal. Rest in His finished work, experience His Perfect Peace.
“Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.” The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.”
–Psalm 46: 10-11
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.”
–Matthew 11:28-30
“In peace [and with a tranquil heart] I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety and confident trust.”
–Psalm 4:8
