FINDING REST IN TRYING TIMES

Has this pandemic been stressful for you? Has it made you weary and tired? Nasabi mo ba sa sarili mo, “Pagod na ako, sana God will bring me to a place of rest?” This pandemic has been a very trying period for many of us. As I personally struggled through it, Psalm 95:11 caught my attention and it says, “Therefore I swore in My anger, truly they shall not enter into My rest.” In Psalms 95:11, the Lord was angry with Israel because they were stubborn. So they were not able to enjoy the “rest” God promised when He delivered them from slavery in Egypt. Many times during this pandemic nasabi ko kay God, “Lord, pagod na ako, will you bring me to a place of rest?” Pero since I cannot go anywhere because of the quarantine and travel restriction, I decided to study the meaning of this verse. Naisip ko, baka if I understand what it means, I may be able to find rest even while I stay put. I would like to share with you what I learned from Psalm 95:11, hoping that you too will find the peace that I found when I understood the "rest" that God wants us to enjoy.
