DANIEL 180: CHOOSE REST!

What does this mean?

What does the world say?

What do the Ancient Scrolls say?

"Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest."
Matt 11:28

I have finally realized that Sunday's are the Sabbath from physical labour as well the Labour my brain puts me through as it goes around and around on a carousel.

The Sabbath is to give me rest from mulling things over and over .... because where it stops knowbody knows?

I must recognize when things are out of my control I need to do what firemen do. I need to drop, tuck and roll to get out of the Fire.

I must realize It doesn't matter how I got here or who's fault it is etc... It is what it is and I must stop the flames immediately.

My Redeemer told His friends that He came to be the Fulfillment of the Sabbath. He said He will give me Rest from all the Anxiety when my brain spins out of control.

Now that I know this I must Choose to Enter into His Rest right now!

I must understand I am a by product of the choices I make so I must choose to accept my Redeemer's gift of Rest. He also told me that He won't give me Rest without my permission.

I must take a deep breath... I must not worry about the what ifs of tomorrow...

I must Cast my cares on Him and He will give my mind Rest and Comfort. Also, the second my mind wonders off into the comfort of being a Victim or if I begin to drift away into depression which manifests itself as anger, I must perish the thought and hand it over to my Redeemer.

If I don't I know the next event after anxiety is compulsion followed by relief.

The Relief manifests itself as rage and or substance to ease the pain.

I need to know that the Pain is Real however the Relief I have been choosing is not!

Slavedriver is a good manipulator when I am in both physical and mental pain.

Knowing this I need to remember that my Redeemer said,

"Greater is He (my Redeemer) that is in my life then he (Slavedriver) that is in the world."
