Acorn Build Up: Rest

Rest

Matthew 11:28
Come to Me and I will give you rest

It's the weekend! How do you plan to unwind and refresh yourself?

Jesus' plan for our rest has to do with turning our attention on Him. By focusing our attention on Jesus we will simultaneously take our attention away from ourselves. The more we focus on ourselves the more tired we will feel. However, when we gaze upon Christ Jesus the fatigue subsides.

Oswald Chambers, in My Utmost for His Highest, states it this way:
Ask the Lord to put awareness of Himself in you, and your self-awareness will disappear. Then He will be your all in all.

And that is the only real rest in the world.

Get some rest!
