| Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. |
| Proverbs 3:5–6, AMP |

Living And Resting In His Grace | |
Depending on the Lord’s
grace and resting in His finished work does not mean doing nothing. Just
look at Apostle Paul, who lived by God’s grace. He saw first-hand how a
revelation of God’s grace turned him into the effective and hardworking
apostle that he was (1 Corinthians 15:10).
How do we rest in the Lord
and still find ourselves effectively doing what we need to do? It’s
simple—just do what you ought to do, but do it trusting in the Lord’s
favor, not in your smarts or careful planning. Whatever you need to do
today, do it with an inward rest, without worrying or fretting, knowing
that He loves you, is in charge and is for you.
For example, let’s say that
you’ve got a job interview coming up. First, commit the matter to the
Lord. Ask Him for wisdom and favor. Then, prepare for the interview—read
up on the company. On the day of the interview, dress appropriately and
go for it, all the while having an inward rest as you trust the Lord
for His wisdom and favor. As you do what’s needed, He will guide you and
empower you to do what’s really needful and right. He’ll also give you
favor with your interviewers.
Beloved, rest in His grace today and let the Lord lead you to good success!
