THE THEOLOGY OF REST:bow:

Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?

Matthew 8:26

http://www.SearchGod...ry=mt+8:26&sr=1

When we are in fear we can do nothing less than pray to God, but Our

Lord has a right to expect that those who name His Name should have

an understanding confidence in Him. God expects His children to be so

confident in Him that in any crisis they are the reliable ones. Our

trust is in God up to a certain point, then we go back to the

elementary panic prayers of those who do not know God. We get to our

wits' end, showing that we have not the slightest confidence in Him

and His government of the world; He seems to be asleep, and we see

nothing but breakers ahead.

"O ye of little faith!" What a pang must have shot through the

disciples - 'Missed it again!' And what a pang will go through us

when we suddenly realize that we might have produced down right joy

in the heart of Jesus by remaining absolutely confident in Him, no

matter what was ahead.

There are stages in life when there is no storm, no crisis, when we

do our human best; it is when a crisis arises that we instantly

reveal upon whom we rely. If we have been learning to worship God and

to trust Him, the crisis will reveal that we will go to the breaking

point and not break in our confidence in Him.

We have been talking a great deal about sanctification - what is it

all going to amount to? It should work out into rest in God which

means oneness with God, a oneness which will make us not only

blameless in His sight, but a deep joy to Him.:rolleyes::twothumbs:
