Ahhhh

This is what you need..right?

"God has told his people,
'Here is a place of rest;
  let the weary rest here.
This is a place of quiet rest.'
  But they would not listen."

Isaiah 28:12

What does God long to do for his people, as expressed here? Give them rest! He does not desire that they be oppressed by enemies all the time. He desires rest, peace, for his people. The reason they did not experience this was that they would not listen. God wants to bless you! He wants to give you rest. If you believe anything else, it's a lie. Don't be dull of hearing; listen for his voice. He's speaking to you right now—through this word, through the Spirit's gentle invitation: "Come and rest. This is a place of quiet rest."
