What a week this has been with many hurting souls both physically and emotionally. I thank our mighty God and Savior that we have a Great Physician who is available and does meet all our needs. We, therefore, commit to Him, trust in Him and rest in Him.

Concerning commitment--
As the apostle Paul tells Timothy and it applies to us as well today, ".Share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began." 2 Timothy 1:8-9 He goes on to say in Vs. 12, "For this reason I also suffer these things, nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day."
Read the whole passage Vs. 6-12

Peter tells us,
"Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator." 1 Peter 4:19

Concerning trust--
"Trust in the LORD, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness." Psalm 37:3

"Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass." Psalm 37:5

"It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in man." Psalm 118:8

"Trust in the LORD forever,
For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength."   Isaiah 26:4

"Who is among you who [reverently] fears the Lord, who obeys the voice of His Servant, yet who walks in darkness and deep trouble and has no shining splendor [in his heart]? Let him rely on, trust in, and be confident in the name of the Lord, and let him lean upon and be supported by his God."
Isaiah 50:10 The Amplified Bible

Concerning rest--
Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:28-29,
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

"Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him..." Psalm 37:7

"Return to your rest, O my soul,
 For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you." Psalm 116:7

For me the contrast between Mary and Martha (sisters of Lazarus who Jesus raised from the dead) is a good example of resting and not resting. Jesus is so loving and kind with Martha, but He makes it very clear as to what is the good! Luke 38-42 "Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. Vs 38 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. Vs. 39 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, 'Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone?
Therefore tell her to help me.' Vs. 40
And Jesus answered and said to her, 'Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. Vs. 41 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.'" Vs. 42

Mary has her heart fixed on Jesus, while Martha is looking at the circumstances. As the song goes, "Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face.
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace."

As we commit and trust let us come to rest in the peace and joy of our Lord.
Lord, with grateful hearts we say thank.  Amen
