Rest From Sorrow

"The Lord shall give thee rest from
thy sorrow." Isaiah 14:3a Bread Box

Sorrow takes up much strength and
energy so it is important to rest
from sorrow. How? "Rest in theLord,
and wait patiently for Him and fret
not thyself ..." (Psalm 37:7a).

Rest means do something refreshing
that will give you joy because "Joy
of the Lord is your strength and He
is your life" (Nehemiah 8:10).
Fret not means do not worry or wear
yourself out over little things.

So it is important to trust
the Lord right now!

PS. Song: Joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord is my strength
and He is my life.
The joy of the Lord is my strength,
and He is my life.
He giveth me the victory when my heart
is filled with praise to Thee.
The joy of the Lord is my strength
and He is my life.
