Mathew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

God’s original plan, since the beginning, was for all of us to rest and live an enjoyable life while He provides.

If we look at Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden, God provided all that mankind needed (Genesis 2:8-25). If we look at Moses, when he was leading the Israelites, God told Moses to strike a rock to receive water (Exodus 17:6). Moses didn’t have to dig a well or search for a pool. He simply had to strike a rock. Later on, God made it even easier for Moses to receive water. God instructed Moses to speak to the rock to receive water (Numbers 20:8). Unfortunately, Moses disobeyed and struck the rock instead of speaking to the rock.

Even through Jesus, God established a life of rest and enjoyment. We could have been living by the strict requirements of the law, but God sent Jesus to fulfill the law (Galatians 3:13). Now, we can experience an abundant life and not be concerned about the curse of the law.

Let’s examine our lives. If we’re overworking ourselves attempting to establish or maintain a “successful” life, we’re not operating in the plan of God. Rely on God in every situation. Look to Him as our ONLY source and rest.
