GET READY FOR THE “REST” OF YOUR LIFE

1. REST IS ____________________

29 Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. 29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. 30 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. 31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:28-31 (NLT)

28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJ)

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28 (NKJ)

28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”  Matthew 11:28-30 (Message)

2. REST REQUIRES ________________

Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalm 46:10 (NKJ)

“Stand silent! Know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation in the world!” Psalm 46:10 (LB)

There is a time to be silent and a time to speak. Ecclesiastes 3:7 (ERV)

3. REST CREATES _________________

The space between our _____________ and our _____________.

Plan carefully and you will have plenty; if you act too quickly, you will never have enough. Proverbs 21:5 (GNT)

31 “Don’t worry and say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ 32 That’s what those people who don’t know God are always thinking about. Don’t worry, because your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. 33 What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what He wants you to do. Then He will give you all these other things you need. Matthew 6:31-33 (ERV)

22 Then Jesus made the followers get into the boat. He told them to go to the other side of the lake. He said He would come later. He stayed there to tell everyone they could go home. 23 After Jesus said goodbye to the people, He went up into the hills by Himself to pray. Matthew 14:22-23 (ERV)
