Rest Is Found in Restlessness! Genesis 27:40; Psalm 55:6 It is great to desire to have rest from troubles! But can there really be rest? Man born of a woman is born into trouble (Job 14:1). This is why you are configured to be supernatural so as to fix natural issues. It is in you and dates back to your day of conception. Prince Nico sang thus: “Igba ti mo wa l’omode, iya mi so fun mi pe, aye yi ma lee.” As such, instead of wanting to run or fly away from trouble, the best thing is to seek out the right way to handle situations. The solution to every trouble is embedded in the same trouble (1 Corinthians 10:13). God permits challenges so as to see us develop that which is in us. Every challenge you overcome immunizes you against another and stirs up the onlooker. This is why, if you want to have rest, you must make up your mind to be restless. I read the story of a woman who felt that she had suffered more than all others. Check out what her father did: He boiled water in three different pots. He put a carrot in one, an egg in another, and coffee beans in the last. After the same number of minutes, he brought them down. Moral lesson: The carrot went in hard and came out soft. The egg was fragile but became hardened by the cooking. The coffee changed the water and brought taste to it. Everyone goes through issues, but you are the determiner of how you will come out of yours.
