When your SOUL IS AT REST there is freedom from fear, unbelief, resentment, anxiety

True rest is not merely physical but spiritual. While the world defines rest as taking a break, going on holiday, or escaping stress, the deeper question is whether your soul is resting in Christ. When your soul is truly at rest, anxiety, fear, resentment, and unforgiveness lose their grip on you. Many try to fix a restless soul through distractions, possessions, or busyness, but real rest comes from the presence of God. Just as God promised Moses that His presence would go with him and give him rest, true peace is found not in circumstances but in walking with Him. When you know Jesus personally, trust Him deeply, and remain in His presence, you can rest while He works. This rest comes through surrender, faith, and obedience. Jesus invites the weary to come to Him, take His yoke, and learn from Him, promising rest for the soul. But this rest requires humility letting go of pride, stubbornness, and self-justification. When you yield to God’s Word, repent where needed, and trust His righteousness rather than your own, you enter a place of peace. Rest is found in walking in the paths of righteousness, where your soul is restored and guided by Him. It is possible to be physically tired yet spiritually rested, because true rest is not the absence of activity but the presence of trust. Ultimately, entering God’s rest is a matter of faith. The Bible teaches that His rest is available, but it must be received by believing and trusting Him daily. Rest means ceasing from striving, quieting your heart, and relying on God instead of fear or worry. In repentance and quiet confidence, your strength is renewed. Worry and striving belong to the world, but those who trust the Lord find peace because they know He cares for them. When you stop striving, mix God’s Word with faith, and wait on Him, you discover the deep, abiding rest that only Christ can give. Message preached at the Wed. Wollongong Meeting February, 2026.
