I was recently visiting with a friend about her children’s swimming lessons, and she mentioned that one of her children’s favorite parts was learning to float on his back. This immediately reminded me of how this is an example of how we are called to “rest” in Jesus for all He has promised.
Just like floating on our back requires a conscious effort to trust, learning to trust in Jesus’ finished worked requires a similar surrender. It takes diligence to release our need to accomplish things on our own and instead choose to believe God’s Word over our past experiences and Curren reality. However, God promises that as we remain steadfast in our faith, we will experience His promises.
As I imagined myself resting in the Lord's presence, I found myself completely at peace. This simple act of surrender allowed me to release what I had been holding onto and more deeply realize the truths I shared. I saw promises fulfilled and was reminded that God will do exactly what He said as I rest in Him. Glory!
Let us be diligent to enter that rest, remembering Hebrews 4:11-12, “Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, least anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
