REST IN GOD
The natural man is constantly in search of fulfillment and satisfaction. Like a sea tossed by wave, his heart perpetually in a restless state; seeking for peace and love and happiness. This constant longing of his heart drives him to labour everyday in other to fill this void. Some labour for more money and education while some strive for power, thinking that the attainment of these would still the restlessness of their hearts.
The reality is that the more man possesses, the more his heart longs for something greater. No level of human accomplishment or attainment can fill the emptiness in him. Nothing in this world can satisfy his inner cravings! This is why the preachers, in Ecclesiastes conclude that without God, all of man’s labour on the earth is vanity upon vanity. It is simply laboring for the wind.
God created man so that he could have constant fellowship with him, but unfortunately the fall of man made this impossible. Sin created a vacuum in humans life and he became restless because he; lacks true happiness, satisfaction and peace of mind.
Only God can fill this void and completely guarantee him a fulfilling life and a peaceful state of mind. A life without Jesus Christ is riddled with Christ is riddled with crises because it is empty of the Prince of Peace. Why is the world in so much chaos today, full of troubles and confusion, ripped asunder by famine and drought, ravaged by wars and restiveness and doomed by impending judgment of God?
It is because people have found no place for God and his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. The entire universe can only know peace when man establishes a relationship with his maker. Then we can have peace with God and man.
A sinful life can never experience lasting peace and true happiness. The only way out of this restlessness is to embrace God’s provision through Jesus Christ. In Him, there is rest for your burdened soul and restless heart.
There is peace for your troubled mind and pardons for your sins. He said come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden.Come to Jesus Christ today by confessing and repenting of our sins, and accepting Him as your personal Lord and savior. In the midst of confusion, God will guard your heart with peace. God bless you.
thanks for going through my post.
