My sould did rest

Because Enos had such great faith, he truly believed God would do what He said He would do.

"Wherefore, my soul did rest", he said (1:17).

I've felt that way before.

I have experienced that restful feeling where I've felt satisfied and comforted by an answer I received. For example, any time I go to the scriptures, whatever I am reading makes me rest--I don't doubt that what I read isn't true, and so I take it as directly coming from God. I have this complete trust. And my soul rests, like Enos's soul.

Near the end of the chapter Enos also has this restful feeling in his soul knowing for a surety his standing with God. He says, about dying and meeting his Master, "...then shall I see his face with pleasure, and he will say unto me: Come unto me, ye blessed, there is a place prepared for you in the mansions of my Father" (1:27).

Oh to have that rest in my soul. I need to know my standing with Him...I need to live more righteous.
