JUST look at that little miss; she has gathered as many of her toys as she can possibly carry! Her arms are filled, and do you think she is satisfied? Oh, no, soon she will want to put them down, and have something else; and as she gets older she will not want them anymore. She will put childish things away from her, and learn some of the cares of this life. But I trust that such will also learn that there is rest and satisfaction for the soul in believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as the One who has undergone the judgment of God for their sins. Seeing there is no judgment left for them, what rest that gives, and enables them to say, All fear is gone.
Then as to circumstances all through the life, the Lord would have us cast all our cares upon Himself, remembering He is ever ordering all things just as He sees is best.
Then in regard to these weary and tired bodies, the Scripture tells us, “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.” Heb. 4:99There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. (Hebrews 4:9).
What a blessing comes to those who accept the Lord Jesus as their Saviour. If you have not accepted Him yet, do so now, dear reader, and satisfaction and rest shall be yours for time and eternity.
