Declare Today-I am Resting in the Lord.
Declare Today-I am Resting int he Lord.
My Heart will Trust in Him and I’ll not Fear.
Did you know that Solomon wrote Psalm 127 just before the death of his father, David? Solomon’s brother, Adonijah, was trying to take the throne by deceitful means, even though the kingship was promised to Solomon. Instead of fighting with Adonijah over the throne, Solomon wrote this Psalm. Basically, it says, “Why worry? If God wants me on the throne, I’ll be there.” His heart was at peace with the Lord.
Solomon had received a spiritual name from Nathan, the prophet. The name was Jedidah, which means “beloved.” When Solomon wrote Psalm 127, he said, “For so He gives His beloved sleep” (vs. 2). Solomon was really inserting his own name, Jedidah. Read this Psalm, and you can insert your name, too, for you are dear to His heart; you are His beloved.
Can you take the step of faith that Solomon took? Can you look at your own situation and say, “Why worry? God’s Word is true; He will perform that which He has promised!” Of course you can! As you go to sleep tonight, remind yourself of who He says that you are. “God calls things that are not as though they were,” and He has given this awesome power to you! Once you speak His Word over your situation, the work is already accomplished, whether or not you see the work as completed with your natural eye. Let your heart REST in the assurance of His Word. Stop worrying, you are of His beloved; He has called you “Jedidah.” You are His bride, His chosen, and you above all others should let your heart REST in Him.
