Rest All Your Weight on the Lord

Good Morning,
 
Another dictator has fallen, but is that area of our world any closer to peace or farther from it?  The soul that is resting in God's presence can have an internal peace and rest in spite of the external troubles and disturbances. 
 
When John Paton was translating the Bible for a South Pacific island tribe, he discovered that they had no word for trust or faith. One day a native who had been running hard came into the missionary's house, flopped down in a large chair and said, "It's good to rest my whole weight on this chair." "That's it!" exclaimed Paton. "I'll translate faith as resting one's whole weight on God."
 
"And the peace of God, which transcends all our powers of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus"  Phil. 4:7 
 
There is what is called the "cushion of the sea." Down beneath the surface that is agitated by storms, and driven about with winds, there is a part of the sea that is never stirred. When we dredge the bottom and bring up the remains of animal and vegetation we find that they give evidence of not having been disturbed in the least, for hundreds of years. The peace of God is that eternal calm which, like the cushion of the sea, lies far too deep down to be reached by any external trouble and disturbance; and he who enters into the presence of God, becomes partaker of that undisturbed and undisturbable calm.--Dr. A. T. Pierson
 
"Yes I've noticed all the bad news in the paper
And it seems like things get bleaker everyday
But for this child of God it makes no difference
Because it's bound to get better either way"
                                            Bill Gaither
 
May the Good Lord bless and keep you today as you rest all of your weight on Him, and never forget that you are loved!!!
 
Henry
