1 Samuel 2:1-36; Isaiah 44:24-45:25; 2 Corinthians 5:11-6:10
Rest in the Lord. Psalm 37:7
Over one hundred years ago Alexander Steward penned, “Shut in with Thee far, far above the restless world that wars below”. How much more true is that statement in the 21st century? In this world of conflict and turmoil the Savior’s invitation still stands: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest…learn of me…and ye shall find rest unto your souls” (Matt. 11:28-29). —Wm. H. Gustafson
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one,
Lay down thy head upon my breast. —Horatius Bonar
