Day 5: Rest in God's Faithfulness
Reading: Hebrews 4:9-11; Matthew 11:28-30
Devotional:
After preparation, possession, and remembrance comes rest. God promised the Israelites rest in the Promised Land, and Jesus promises us rest for our souls. This isn't physical rest alone—it's the deep peace that comes from trusting God completely. You don't have to strive in your own strength. You don't have to worry about tomorrow because God holds it in His hands. Like Joshua, you're called to be strong and courageous, but that strength comes from resting in God's presence and promises. As you begin this new season, remember that your God goes with you wherever you go. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. Let go of what was, embrace what is, and trust Him for what will be.
Reflection Question: What burden are you carrying that Jesus is inviting you to lay down so you can experience His rest?
Closing Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your faithfulness. As we let go of the past and move forward into Your promises, give us strength and courage. Help us to meditate on Your Word, walk in obedience, and rest in Your presence. May we be a people who trust You completely and follow You faithfully. In Jesus' name, Amen.
