Luke 11:9@Jesus says, "Abide in
Me." These words convey the idea of rest, stability, confidence. Again He
invites,"Come unto Me, . . . and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28. The words
of the psalmist express the same thought: "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for
Him." And Isaiah gives the assurance, "In quietness and in confidence shall be
your strength." Psalm 37:7; Isaiah 30:15. This rest is not found in inactivity; for
in the Saviour's invitation the promise of rest is united with the call to labor:
"Take My yoke upon you: . . . and ye shall find rest." Matthew 11:29. The heart
that rests most fully upon Christ will be most earnest and active in labor for Him.
