Early this morning the Lord revealed to me a truth about abiding in Him. We all know that entering His rest is equivalent to abiding in Him. For me it was a struggle to enter and I was not able to continually abide until I completely laid my life down. The peace and joy that came with that surrender has been so much more than I expected. What He showed me this morning was that a surrendered life gives Him a place to rest. He lives in all believers but He has no rest there until all on the altar is laid because until then that life is filled with turmoil and fears and struggling and striving. Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
