*PHANEROO~DEVOTION* Tuesday, 18th February 2025 Apostle Grace Lubega *Genesis 2:1-2 (KJV):* Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. *FIND REST* After God created the heavens and the earth, scripture tells us that He rested. Was this because He was exhausted and needed time to recover from all He had done? Of course not. God rested to establish a principle for us to learn and apply in our daily lives: the critical importance of rest. By this, I do not mean merely physical rest (though that is important), but rest in the spirit. The Bible says in Hebrews 4:10, “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.” Just as God ceased from His works after creation, there are works that we should cease from when we are in God’s rest. For example, if you believe that you have been healed and are truly at rest in your spirit concerning your healing, constantly checking with the doctor to see if the symptoms have changed is a form of "work." God expects you to cease from such works when you are at rest. Similarly, if you are in urgent need of financial provision and have trusted God to provide, making calls to various people for help is another "work" you should have ceased from, because you are trusting God’s provision and resting in His promises. Always remember, a life of faith is incomplete without rest. Hallelujah! *FURTHER STUDY:* Hebrews 4:3-4; Matthew 11:28 *GOLDEN NUGGET:* A life of faith is incomplete without rest. True faith is marked by complete trust in God and the peace that comes from ceasing from unnecessary works. *PRAYER:* Loving Father, I thank You for this Word and the blessed peace You have given me. You have calmed all my anxieties and taught me the true meaning of trusting You, regardless of the circumstances. My mind is steadfast on You, and from this day forward, I engage only in works that reflect my faith and rest in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. bit.ly/BenefitsOfTheForgivenessOfSins *#phaneroodevotion📜*
