LENT: REST 19.3.14

 “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

The Message (MSG)

 *
For this is what Adonai Elohim,
the Holy One of Isra’el, says:
“Returning and resting is what will save you;
calmness and confidence will make you strong —

Isaiah 30:15

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

 *
For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:
In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved;
in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength. 

Isaiah 30:15

Amplified Bible (AMP)

    I like the long row of benches, and the Scripture too.

    "unforced rhythms of grace" LOVE that.
    so true. Beautiful picture that conveys the idea of perfect rest - found in Him.

    I bet that is a beautiful place of rest in the summer time. It is beautiful now - it makes me want to walk faster. Thank you for encouraging me through your scripture choices to find rest through Him.
