says, “This is my son who is living, and your son is the dead
one”; and the other says, “no! For your son is the dead one,
and my son is the living one.” Solomon said, “Bring a sword
and kill the baby.” That’s what his lips said, “Kill the baby.”
But his heart was saying, “Save the baby.” When we read the

And by God’s grace this morning I’d like to look at the truth of
resting in the Lord. Beyond all doubt, resting in the Lord is a
great foundation.

I want to begin with a wonderful benediction from the Apostle
Paul, 2 Thessalonians 3:16. “Now may the Lord of peace
Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance!
The Lord be with you all!” Sometimes our heart says, “Is such
a thing possible, that the Lord of peace Himself would
continually give peace in every circumstance?” Many
