Revelation 14:13.
“And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, ‘Blessed are the dead, those who die in the Lord from this moment on.’ ‘Yes,’ says the Spirit, ‘they will rest from their labors, for their deeds will follow them.’”
Have you ever been tired, not just in your body, but deep down in your heart? Tired of worrying, struggling, and carrying burdens that never seem to go away?
I think we all have.
That’s why I love the promise in today’s verse. One day, God’s children will lay down every burden. No more sleepless nights. No more tears. No more struggles. Just the peace of being home with God.
But there’s another beautiful thought here: “Their deeds will follow them.”
Someday our hands will grow still, but the love they shared can keep touching lives. Our voices will become silent, but our words of kindness may continue encouraging others.
What a wonderful promise! One day, we will rest from our work, but the good we have done can keep working long after we are gone.
Prayer: Lord, help me leave behind a little more love and kindness wherever I go today.
I’m Lonnie Davis, and this is a thought worth thinking.
