Meditate On
He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself...
1 Corinthians 14:4
You Can
Have True Rest Every Day
The prophet Isaiah describes speaking in tongues as “the
rest” and “the refreshing” (Isaiah 28:11–12). In the New Testament, the apostle
Paul tells us that the believer who speaks in a tongue “edifies himself.” The word
“edify” here is oikodomeo, which means to build up, restore and repair.
I have found all this to be true, especially when I’m
tired after a long flight. Many a time, despite the jet lag, praying in the
Holy Spirit has given me a supernatural rest and energy to carry on preaching
and ministering!
My friend, one of the best ways to be refreshed, to enter
into rest and remain restful is to pray in tongues throughout the day. You can
pray in tongues under your breath on your way to work or while having your
coffee break. If you are a homemaker, you can pray in tongues while cooking or
doing the laundry. Beloved, when you involve the Holy Spirit and are restful,
how can you not experience His supernatural provision in everything you do?
