Perfect Rest Psalm 37:3-9 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him... The resting place for Gods people is the Lord. In Him alone is perfect rest. In the thirty-seventh Psalm, which has brought so much comfort to the Saints of all ages, we read of trusting in the Lord, and are told delight thyself also in the Lord-- commit thy way unto the Lord, and finally rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. And this is the true way to rest; blessed rest and peace in our Lord becomes ours. First, we must trust Him; trust Him in all things, trust Him fully and always. He must be our delight, the one attraction of our lives, the One altogether lovely. In all our ways He must be honored and acknowledged, and if we do, we commit our way unto the Lord. Trust, delight and daily fellowship with Him leads to a perfect rest in Him. We rest in His infinite love, the love which knows no end, the love which passeth knowledge, the love which never fails. The love which went to the Cross and paid the price, that infinite price for our redemption. It is infinite love which is ours in Him, the infinite Lord of glory. We rest in His infinite power. He is our omnipotent Lord, the Jehovah, the Self-existing One. The hands which were pierced for our sins upholds all things. All power is His and all glory as well. His love will never fail His trusting people, neither will His power. What a rest, to rest in faith in One who created all things and sustains all things. We rest in His infinite wisdom. On earth the testimony was born, He does all things well. All He does for His own, all He permits, all suffering which may come, all trials, all sorrows, all disappointments are governed and watched over by infinite wisdom. In that wisdom all things work together for good to those who love God. Oh! rest in the Lord-- in infinite love, infinite power and infinite wisdom.
