Rest and restlessness can both indicate direction.
Walking in God’s ways brings rest. If we choose to go the other direction and say, “We will not walk therein,” we do not find rest.
By this standard, we can know whether we are where God wants us to be. Since God promises that we will find rest as we walk in the “good way,” everything in life can be evaluated by that criterion: is this rest? If so, it is the “good way.” If we find ourselves in a situation where we say, “This is not our rest,” we can use that as a signal to us that we are not in the Lord’s ways. Once we realize that this is not our rest, we can return to our rest in Him.
The rest we find for our souls is Christ Himself…He is our resting place. In the work and routine of your life today, dwell within Him.
