faith.” What is faith, if it’s not coming to the end of myself and
giving it to Jesus and getting out of the way? May God help us to
understand this! Faith is letting Jesus sleep! They did not have to
wake Him.

Was He in more control when He was standing on the deck with His
arms stretched out, when it looked like He was unconscious and
unaware? I’ll confess, nobody wakes Jesus more than I do! He’s so
tender and He is so patient with us and I don’t have to wake Him.
He knows what He is doing. Everything that comes into my life, He
is satisfied with. What I need is to let Him sleep and believe that He
has a plan and He has the skill and He has the control and He has a
heart that loves me and if I mess up He’ll start again. Rest is being
satisfied that He is satisfied. Not only is He satisfied with everything
He has already done but He’s satisfied with everything He is doing.
If you knew what God knew and if you had for your information
everything that God knows, He knows everything actual and
everything possible. If you knew what God knew and He said,
“Choose a path for your life,” you wouldn’t change a thing. He is
in control of your life. Everything He allows in your life is the
Potter. Let Jesus sleep. Just trust the Lord!

Heavenly Father, we thank You that You are satisfied with the
finished work of creation. Thank You that You are satisfied with
the finished work of redemption. We thank You that You made a
vessel that was pleasing to Your heart. Enable us to enter Your rest.
We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen
