Peace and Rest that Surpasses Understanding

The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 

—Exodus 33:14

When the Israelites left Egypt they didn’t know where they were going. It can seem the hardest to trust God when we don’t now where He’s leading us, but even in the times of uncertainty He will give us rest.

To have good rest we need to have peace, but its hard to have peace when we’re uncertain. But that’s the beauty of God’s peace it surpasses understanding. We don’t have to know all the answers and He can still give us peace.

My husband and I have moved more times then the number of years we have been married, and we didn’t always know all the details but each time we knew it was God’s timing and that He had a plan and purpose for our move, even if we didn’t know what that plan was. Each time He gave us a peace about it.

Rest is part of that peace, when we trust God’s plan and His timing we can rest in knowing He’s got this. And that rest might be what we need in order to take care of what He’s got ahead for us.
