Day 183 - Resting in God

We all know we are all humans, and just like every human being, we need food, water and rest. In times of tiredeness we may tend to seek for rest in things such as TV, magazine, a book, a bath, and yes, those things are great for helping our body to relax and take the stress off us and also to cleanse our minds.

Once our minds are cleansed, they need to be filled up with something.
We have always been seeking fullfilment, but the truth is only God can give us the fullfilment we are looking for. The world can not give us what only God can. It's unfortunate that so many people disagree with that and can't really see what we Christians see.

The Scripture says: "And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have a resting-place; but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head." Matthew 8:20

Just like Jesus being expressed by Son of man in this verse, we have no place to rest. Our rest is in God.
Nothing in this universe will give us the rest we need. The Holy Spirit of God is the one who can cleanse us entirely and fill us up with the good things Jesus brought us when He washed our sins.

For a tired head, there is the floor, when we go on our knees and bow to the king. That's our rest right there.
