TAKE YOUR SEAT!! REST!!

Life can wear you out. Dealing with the drama of today’s society will drain you both physically and mentally. “I just need to sit down a minute.” How many times have you worked until you were so give out that you needed to just sit down and rest a minute. My Bible reading this morning talked about being seated in heavenly realm with Jesus. It is a place of rest for the child of God. (Ephesians 2:4-6 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5. Made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions, it is by grace you have been saved. 6. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realm in Christ Jesus.) What do people do when they sit down? They rest. To be seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus is to enter into an “INNER REST.” Sometimes when you start to get nervous and upset, anxious or worried, you need to tell yourself to take a seat. Sit down! Not just your physical body, but also your mind, your will, your emotions. It is important to let your entire being rest and just wait on God. Wait expectantly for God to do what we cannot do. Don’t worry, get frustrated, and become fearful while you are seated, just find that peace that passes all understanding in the presence of God. If you will take your seat, the TEACHER will speak to His children. Pastor Don [image: image.png]
