Do you know the feeling, having to fight on every front, always having to do something somewhere? Could you use someone to help you? Then there is good news for you: There is somebody who wants to fight for you and wants to take away your burden.
When my siblings and I were kids, our father used to read to us from the bible and would ask questions afterwards. In 99% of the cases the right answer was Jesus. If you weren’t sure what the right answer was, you just said Jesus, as mostly it would have been right anyway.
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Romans 8,32
In fact, Jesus is the right answer in 100% of the cases. This is exactly what this verse in Romans 8 describes. God loved you and me so much, that He gave His greatest treasure for us: His beloved son! In Jesus you are given everything you need. That means, that Jesus wants to be for you whatever you need Him to be. If you need healing, Jesus is your healer. If you need salvation, Jesus is your saviour. If you need financial provision, Jesus is your provider. If you need restoration of your relationships, Jesus is the one who restores. The list could go on and on. No matter what you need, Jesus wants to be it for you!
It’s not about what you do or don’t do, what you are or you’re not, it’s only about what Jesus is and what He did. His perfect work on the cross, His dead and His resurrection have purchased you the right to receive every blessing you can think of. It’s God’s explicit desire that all is well with you.
When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.” Hebrews 6,13-14
Wow, what a statement. God even sweared by Himself, that He would richly bless you and multiply you. Trust His promise for God cannot lie (Hebrews 6,18).
Therefore, our only effort should be to rest in Jesus finished work and cast EVERYTHING that bothers us to Him. God said, that with Jesus, we received everything. And yes, everything actually means EVERYTHING! Stop trying to do anything on your own and start depending on Jesus and His abilities.
The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” Exodus 14,14
Let Jesus fight your battles. Your task is to rest.
