[James Settle]

I find solace in this passage because it reminds me, I can cast my care on him, for He cares for me. 1st Peter 5:7 parallels this passage a lot because it connotes the peace you find when you give it all to God. When we truly enter into His rest, we allow God to becomes our source, our protection, as well as our provision. We can let go of all fear, anxiety, every doubt, every burden and just rest in the assurance that He is going to work it out.
The comforting thing about resting in God’s kingdom is there is room for everyone. The invitation to come is to all. Jesus came to seek and save them that were lost. This included everyone that recognized they needed Him. When we don’t rely on Him and continue to do things our way and make things happen on our own, we aren’t relying on God and are therefore have not truly entered into His rest. We must come to the realization that He can do a better job taking care of us than we could ever do on our own. True rest in Him requires faith and trust regardless of situations and circumstance.
