REST

GRACE & REST AS A WEAPON

In our fast-paced lives, it’s crucial for women to understand the profound connection between grace and rest. The New Covenant, grounded in grace, invites us to step away from striving and performance. As Hebrews 8:10 reminds us, God has written His laws on our hearts, transforming our relationship with Him from one of obligation to one of intimate connection.

This grace has no conscience of sin; rather, it empowers us to overcome. It assures us that our worth is not defined by our actions but by Christ’s perfect righteousness within us. In this space of grace, we find true rest—releasing the burdens of guilt and shame that come from living under an old, performance-based system.

Deborah exemplified this understanding of rest in grace. She recognized that grace is not just a way to escape accountability but a powerful force that equips us to face challenges with confidence. In her story, grace fueled her strength and courage, allowing her to lead with conviction and purpose. She understood that true rest comes from knowing God’s covenantal promises and relying on His provision, empowering her to rise as a mother to her people.

As we rest in God’s promises, we cultivate a deep awareness of our identity as His beloved daughters. This rest equips us to live fully in the abundant life He has promised, allowing His Spirit to guide us in every aspect of our lives into the works created for us. Embrace this divine invitation to rest, and let it be your weapon against the pressures of the world, revealing the grace that transforms and sustains you.
