Is your heart at rest warriors? I am not asking if you are busy or if your feet have stopped their pace. Your feet may be moving quite quickly and you may be in the heat of a great battle, but still your heart can be at rest. Creator Yahweh left us with his peace. His peace that was with him all the days he walked on this earth as Jesus, Yeshua. This is the rest I talk of, the rest that brings great peace to a troubled soul.

Creator Yahweh’s peace was there when the crowds followed him and would give him no physical rest. His peace was there when bloodthirsty men sought after his life. His peace was there when he stood before Pilate and proclaimed he was truth personified. His peace was there when he took all our wrongs upon himself and felt his own father had turned away from him, yet his heart still took courage. His peace was still there when he took his last breath.

Creator Yahweh’s peace was there when he returned to his disciples and cooked fish for them over an open fire. His peace is still here among us through the power of his Spirit. His peace remains when all else fails and we are at an utter loss. His peace remains when all our loved ones fall away and we feel the pain of betrayal. His peace is the promise that will stay with us when we take our last breath. We know this peace when our ears are tuned to his voice, when his Sacred Writings become the food that feed our hungry souls, when we dive into his River and discover the source of life.

Are you walking in Spirit power? Do you know his peace? Today, let our hearts be at rest as we continue to walk in beauty.
