YOU NEED DIVINE REST IN LIFE (Tuesday, 2nd December 2025)
Text for Today: 1 kings 5:1-7 “But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side, there are neither adversary nor evil occurrence.” (vs. 4).
Nothing can ever take the place of divine rest in life. And that is why, after God finished the work of creation He decided to rest on the seventh day. If God the Almighty can rest it means rest is important for each individual after labour. It is not in the nature of God for you to labour all through your life without a break. He told the children of Israel countless times that when they enter the Promised Land they will find rest, Deut. 2:10. But some people even after entering the Promised Land could not find the needed rest and their dream died prematurely. When your life is full of battle, labor without rest, it will be difficult to do great and outstanding things in life.
When you look at David, though a man after God’s heart he could not fulfill his ultimate desire of building a temple for the Lord, because of numerous battles he engaged in. How many dreams/desires have died on the platter of wish because the owner of the desire had no rest, he is always in constant battle. You must pray to God to grant you the needed rest in all areas of your life. When you enjoy rest, you experience breakthrough effortlessly, and your life will begin to command attention from far and near. When you enjoy rest, opposition against your life will cease and die a natural death. The difference between David and Solomon is rest, no wonder Solomon was able to achieve greater things than his father David. May God grant you the much-needed rest in life, this month of December and even beyond in the name of Jesus. See you at the top!
You are a Champion!
Further Study: Gen. 2:1-13.
