5 Steps to Experiencing God's Rest - Part III

Step 3 is -


Sit Down - Obey Jesus and shed the cares of this world.

John 14:1, 27
1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also
in me.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give you
as the world gives. do not let your hearts be troubled and do not
be afraid.

This can be a very hard thing to do. Especially if you have lived
in worry for most of your life. But if God tells us to trust Him and
not be troubled or to be afraid, then He has given us the ability to
do it. Have you heard the saying, "Let go and let God". Can you trust
God enough to take you hands (mind, control, etc.) off the situation
or problem. You won't have peace unless you do.

II Corinthians 10:3-6
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world
does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapsons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We
demolish arguments and every pretention that sets itself up against
the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to
make it obedient to Christ.
6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once
your obedienc is complete.

I Peter 5:7-8
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 8 Be self-
controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a
roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Do be the one that Satan devours because you refuse to let go of
your worries. God will take your cares and He will take care of it.
He will be your Care Taker!

So -

1. Sit Down - Because the Word has everything covered.
2. Sit Down - If you knew what to do it wouldn't be a trial.
3. Sit Down - Obey Jesus and shed the cares of this world.

Believe God,
