I no longer call you servants...instead, I have called you friends ~ John 15:15
Think about your friends, the people you know and who know you. What makes you friends? Chances are, it's your relationship--the time you've taken to spend with each other and get to know one another. God is very much like that. He wants to know and be known by us. Have we taken the time to get to know Him?
Think about this statement: Rest is the result of a decision to believe God.
Let that linger a moment. Pastor Alex Anderson said that rest is the result of a decision to believe God. We won't have rest until we can believe God--believe what He can and will do in our lives, believe that He loves us with an everlasting love, believe that He will never leave nor forsake us. We won't believe God until we trust God. We won't trust God until we know Him, intimately. And we will never know God until we spend time with Him.
If you're feeling dry, poured out, and restless, let me encourage you, refreshing is available to those who seek to know God. He is the only one who can fill you the way you need to be filled, and satisfy your dry places. Call out to your God, your Father, you Friend, ask Him to come and fellowship with you today.
