A. MEMORY VERSE: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”.

B. BIBLE TEXT: PROVERBS 3:5-6

5. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path

C. LESSON INTRODUCTION: To rest means to cease from work or movement in order to relax, sleep or recover strength. To be at rest means to be at peace with yourself, with God and your environment, to get a break from multiple struggles and stress. Many things can be a burden to us: financial difficulties, troublesome work environment, painful family situations and our health. Often, we may feel completely worn out, not just outwardly tired but inwardly exhausted from struggling to bear these burdens. In Matthew 11:28, the Lord Jesus sounded a call with these gracious words “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”.

HOW CAN WE FIND REST FOR OUR SOULS?

1. By heartening to the voice of the Lord. Jesus said “come unto me” He said you must come. What a simple but important word for your freedom. The word come is found in the Bible in at least 1900 times. So, whoever you may be the Lord wants you to come to Him for solutions to all life challenges and you will find rest for your soul.

2. By invitation – inviting Jesus into your life and situation. Jeremiah 33:3, call unto me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not”.

3. We are serving a God that does not sleep nor slumber, a solution provider, the ever present God. He has promised to answer us when we call upon His name.

4. By studying the word of God. This is another factor that will give rest for your soul. 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. Studying and meditating on the word of God gives peace and rest of mind.

5. Through prayers and supplication – Philippians 4:6, communicating with God through faith in His word, promises and through total trust in his faithfulness and in His love. The lasting rest we all need is given to those who call on Him in the place of prayer. Rest for our souls come and abide because of personal encounter with the Lord. This should give added motivation to us to spend time with Him invthe place of prayer.

CONCLUSION: Our great revelation of Matthew 11:28 is that the rest your soul desires, Jesus has promised you. He has promised to give you rest and indeed, He has given you. But you can only find the rest as you follow His directives. Come unto Him and you will find rest for your soul.
