Divine completion

Day 7.

”And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.“ (‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬) Well done, you have completed one week!!!!! .

In this fast I truly believe you have to rest in him. If you are continually resting and relying on ‘self’ you will battle big time! You may even fall off and try to get back on. Which some may find a never-ending cycle. Jesus says we should come to him with all our burdens and HE WILL give us REST. (Matt 11:28). What does resting in Christ look like?

Resting in Christ, is making him our central focus no matter what the circumstances. When we try to wrestle and do things in our own way, in our own strength we are not resting on him (Hebrews 4:10). Hebrews 4:11 goes on to say, that we should be diligent when entering his rest. We need to marry our faith with the word of God. We should strive daily to read the scriptures so we do not fall into disobedience of doing things of our own accord.

For the Bible says ”For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.“(‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭13‬) See saints, no matter what let us keep our intentions pure in this fast and even if no one else sees, our Heavenly Father sees it all. Trials and tribulations.

So let's not be burdened by our anxiety’s, fears, doubts or unbelief, but let us rest in him each day. Some days maybe be easier than others, but rest assured (see what I did there), that with the right heart and intentions in this fast he WILL give you rest, just at the right time for he is not a man that he should lie. (Numbers 23:19)
