He is with you.” Sometimes we get so caught up in hurrying from one to-do item to another that we barely have time to breathe. In 2 Chronicles 20:17, God tells his people to “position yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. As we learn to trust him, we are then able to find peace and rest. He wants us to take whatever circumstance we are in and give them to Him is total surrender and dependence on Him. He longs to bring us into close proximity with Him and into an intimate fellowship with himself. He calls us to experience Him in an up-close-and-personal kind of way. The Greek word for “come” is deute and means to “come hither” or “follow.” Jesus calls us to himself and to follow His example. When we become so tired that we don’t know how we can keep going, Matthew 11:28 says, “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Without rest, we are not fully able to accomplish the tasks He called us to do. In John 4:6, we find Jesus worn out from His journey and sat beside the well where he would encounter the Woman at the Well. Because Jesus, the Son of God, came to dwell among us in a flesh and blood body, he experienced being tired. Since God created us, he knows more than anyone else that our bodies need adequate rest.
