Chronicles 15:15 says All Judah rejoiced
about the oath because they had sworn it wholeheartedly. They sought God
eagerly, and he was found by them. So the Lord gave them rest on every side.
There
are times when we seek the Lord regularly and we finally have a breakthrough
and a great time of rest. He answers, we
feel him near, we see his hand at work in our lives, and we sigh a huge breath
of relief…It seems as though all is going well.
These
are times that it is easy to rejoice, but sometimes we forget to do so, because
we become so satisfied and full. It’s
sort of like eating a huge dinner, sitting back and feeling so full, and then
falling asleep while everyone else thanks the host and helps clean up the mess.
The
Lord is with us at all times, when we are satisfied, and when we are
hungry. We are just at different stages
in life – sometimes we’re at the table eating and other times we’re in the
field working – dreaming of eating.
But
when we are satisfied and full, we have to remind ourselves where these
blessings came from and to instruct our hearts to rejoice to the God who supplies
all good things.
Feeling
at rest right now? Rejoice.
