The Lord replied, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14
“In all your affairs lean solely on God’s Providence, by means of which alone your plans can succeed. Meanwhile, on your part work on in quiet co-operation with Him, and then rest satisfied that if you have trusted entirely to Him you will always obtain such a measure of success as is most profitable for you, whether it seems so or not to your own individual judgment.”
Francis de Sales (1567-1622) in Saints’ Quotes: Holy Quotations for Purification of the Soul, Collection on Providence.
God has been with us at the Global Gathering for GTP as 34 people from 20 countries have convened to share testimony of God’s faithfulness, to discern direction, to map plans in co-operation with God.
As the meetings draw to a close today, we will rest satisfied knowing that we understand our role and we can trust God to do His part. The same is true for you. May God’s presence be with you today and give you rest.
What a generous God we serve! He calls us to give our lives generously and simultaneously restores us for service through fellowship, co-operation, and rest. And only in Him can we rest satisfied.
