RESSSSSST
Rest with Jesus. Right Now.
Come to me,
all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you
and learn from me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
(Matthew 11:28-30)
Other Restful Verses
May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD,
even as we put our hope in you.
(Psalm 33:22)
My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
(Psalm 62:1-2)
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
(Psalm 91:1)
Rest in His Presence
Dear children,
let us not love with words or tongue
but with actions and in truth.
This then is how we know
that we belong to the truth, and how we
set our hearts at rest in his presence
whenever our hearts condemn us.
For God is greater than our hearts,
and he knows everything.
(1 John 3:18-20)
No Rest Day or Night
There is
no rest
day or night
for those who worship
the beast and his image,
or for anyone who receives
the mark of his name.
(Revelation 14:11)

A
SHEEP
The Setting

Absalom is conspiring to take over his kingdom.

Return home immediately and ground
Absalom.
Keep running until he finds a place on earth
where there are no troubles.
Stop everything and rest in God.

David’s Reaction: Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love
will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell
in the house of the LORD
forever.
