GOD is bigger! Bigger than your fear, bigger than your anxiety and doubts, bigger than your pain, bigger than your past, bigger than any of your hurts, bitterness or resentments.


The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love ME. I will protect those who trust in MY NAME! When they call on ME, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them MY salvation.” (Psalm 19:14-16)


I often find myself drowning in life’s hurts because Rather than calling upon the LORD, I try to heal myself.


All I need to do is trust in the LORD, with all my heart and soul… and HE rescues me because HE is bigger! Amen 🙏

NO NEED TO BE EXHAUSTED

​GOD doesn’t exhaust us.

We exhaust ourselves.

​Ok, I exhaust myself.

In Exodus 33, GOD is a bit frustrated with the Jews. HE refers to them as stiff-necked. And Moses, who is anointed to lead them is tired.
I feel Moses here. HE tries. And tries. Goes to bat for his peeps and they whine and complain... and I can almost hear a “we should have never listened to you”.

I imagine poor Moses feels between a burning bush and a.... okay not a good joke!

Haven’t we all felt that way? GOD calls us to something difficult. Perhaps, a missionary- counselor, minister or children’s leader.. or a mom or dad or just life!

It can be exhaustive at best. Sometimes fighting an uphill battle.

Besides remembering that the LORD goes with us in these endeavors; rest is a must and the LORD always provides rest.

Now, me- I don’t always listen. I do this and do that until not only am I exhausted....but my health gets affected - my mood is grouchy, my memory goes in all directions.
Obviously, GOD who told Moses in verse 14 of Chapter 33 in Exodus “And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest” is clearly telling us something!

Well, screaming it to me! GOD rested after creating the world. All throughout the Bible - rest is spoken about. JESUS went off by himself to get rest. JESUS slept soundly in the boat even in the midst of a storm.

Yet, I’ll stress to the point of insomnia!

GOD is there for us through the storms and the chaos, to give us rest! And fear, anxiety and stress - can be abolished if we - here it comes, REST IN THE LORD!
​
Today, I shall take a step towards resting more! Who’s with me?
#ThankYOUJESUS ❤️

    I am Deni, short for Denise. I grew up in a Jewish home, in a Jewish neighborhood and a Jewish family. In 3rd grade we moved. We moved to a mostly non-Jewish area.... that is where JESUS found me. I say found me because I yet had not acknowledged it, but would find out later.......by grace, HE HELD ME ALL ALONG, just a lil Jewish girl from Philly.
