2 Chronicles 32:8
2 Chronicles 32:8
The people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
The people of Judah found rest in the words of King Hezekiah, and this highlights the importance of trusting in God’s promises. Hezekiah’s words were a reflection of God’s faithfulness, and the people rested in the assurance that God would protect and deliver them. Just as the people of Israel were comforted by the leadership of their king, we are called to find rest in God’s word. God’s promises are a source of true rest for our souls. When we are weary, anxious, or burdened by life’s trials, we can find peace by meditating on His promises. His word is not only a source of guidance but also of comfort. It reassures us that we are not alone, and that He is faithful to fulfill His word. In our daily struggles, it’s easy to forget that God’s promises are steadfast. However, just as Hezekiah reminded the people of Judah, we must remind ourselves that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. When we rest upon God’s promises, we acknowledge that He is in control, and we surrender our anxieties to Him. His peace surpasses understanding and guards our hearts and minds.
Matthew 5:4
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Psalms 34:18
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
2 Corinthians 1:3
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Psalms 94:19
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
