His Place of Rest

Isaiah 66:1 asks the question “where is the house you will build for Me and where is the place of My rest”? The simple answer is we are His place of rest, the house He is building. The Lord gave me this phrase a while ago. He said He was building ”a people of no resistance”. A soft place for Him to be with no sharp edges. There is a song that has the line “I am at ease in the arms of a woman”. Now I know that’s not a Christian song but the concept is beautiful and challenging when put in this context. The church is the bride of Christ, is He at ease in our arms?

Most of us have lived or been in places of contention and strife it is not relaxing but then there are those times, places and relationships that just work. Where you can be perfectly at ease, no need to defend or explain yourself, you just know that you are loved and appreciated.

We are to be that for the Lord, His place of rest.
