The daily grind.<\/p>\n<p>The world says you can\u2019t stop until you\u2019ve achieved your dreams, and in order to succeed, you\u2019ve got to hustle, <em>hard<\/em>. Maybe you\u2019re wondering if it\u2019s alright for you to even pause in the midst of all the busyness. Surely someone else will overtake you if you so much as <a href=\"https:\/\/decibel.one\/read-this-when-youre-frazzled-and-cant-deal-with-life\/\">take a breather<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But the truth is\u2014with God, you <em>can<\/em> find rest in the hustle and here are three reasons why:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Success comes with a price, but it\u2019s already been paid for<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Weekends back in the office, horrible sleeping patterns and having no time for yourself or your loved ones. That\u2019s just the cost of success in this world, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well the truth is, at the cross, Jesus Christ paid the full price for every blessing you get to enjoy today. He came that you may have and <em>enjoy<\/em> life to its fullness (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John+10%3A10&amp;version=AMP\">John 10:10<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>And while the world says \u201cno pain, no gain\u201d, God has promised in His Word that \u201cThe blessing of the Lord brings [true] riches, and He adds no sorrow to it [for it comes as a blessing from God].\u201d (Prov. 10:22 AMP).<\/p>\n<p>So, success has a price. The bill just doesn\u2019t have to be footed by you because Jesus paid it on your behalf, in advance, when He hung on the cross. There, He removed all distance between us and a holy God by bearing the punishment for all our sins, giving us access to all of His blessings\u2014including success without the crazy stress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Lord has made His finished work your starting point<\/strong>. You aren\u2019t striving to obtain success but you can confidently pursue your dreams from a posture of rest, knowing that the Lord has already paid for your (future) success, even if you aren\u2019t seeing it just yet.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. God has no Plan B <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No amount of smarts or market foresight can give you the full assurance that every decision you make will always be the <em>right<\/em> one.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, we\u2019re faced with multiple opportunities that may all seem good, but how do we pick which is truly the \u201cbest\u201d or \u201cright\u201d one <em>today<\/em> that will still be a good choice <em>tomorrow<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><strong>We won\u2019t always know how to make the best decisions for our own lives, but <a href=\"https:\/\/decibel.one\/afraid-to-make-decisions-about-your-life-read-this\/\">God does<\/a>.<\/strong> The Word tells us, \u201cA man\u2019s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], but the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.\u201d (Prov. 16:9 AMP).<\/p>\n<p>So we don\u2019t have to worry that we\u2019ll miss out on opportunities in life if we make the wrong decisions. As you <a href=\"https:\/\/decibel.one\/put-jesus-in-the-midst\/\">involve the Lord in the choices you make<\/a> from day to day, He can guide you to make the best decisions, and <a href=\"https:\/\/decibel.one\/jesus-takes-you-to-crushin-it\/\">even turn the not-so-great ones around for your good<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On that note, the best advice to not panic and freak out when the hustle gets real is to remember that\u2026<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. God\u2019s heart towards you is always good <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Apostle Paul wrote in Rom. 8:28 (NLT) that \u201c\u2026<strong>God causes everything to work together for the good<\/strong> of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing to remember while you\u2019re wondering how to stay ahead of the competition or trying to grab at opportunities without considering whether they\u2019re actually <em>good<\/em> for you\u2014it\u2019s that God can cause everything to work together for your good.<\/p>\n<p>And by everything, we mean even the decisions you\u2019re still kicking yourself in regret over.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen time and again in the Bible how God has turned many stories around\u2014from Joseph\u2019s unfavorable prison circumstances, to Abraham\u2019s self-preserving lies about his wife, to Solomon becoming King, even when he was the shamed son who was born out of wedlock and infidelity.<\/p>\n<p>Still, we hustle so hard because we\u2019re afraid that if we don\u2019t, no one else will have our backs.<\/p>\n<p>But God\u2019s Word tells us that His glory shall be our rear guard (Isa. 58:8), and that when we cast our cares to Him, He will <strong>sustain<\/strong> us (Ps. 55:22 NIV).<\/p>\n<p>Of course, none of this is an excuse to <em>not <\/em>work hard or be excellent in our work, for the Bible also says that those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=2+Thessalonians+3%3A10&amp;version=NLT\">unwilling to work will not get to eat<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But today, you can put your faith not in your accomplishments or the numbers in your bank account, but in the firm foundation that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/decibel.one\/you-need-not-worry-about-tomorrow\/\">God\u2019s got your back and His heart towards you is all good<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We can pursue our dreams and ambitions knowing that God\u2019s got our best interests at heart. We can look at every closed door knowing that they aren\u2019t missed opportunities, but God\u2019s redirections to better things. And we can live with our hearts freer, knowing that we\u2019ll never be found outside God\u2019s best plans for our lives\u2014even on the days that we make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we can find rest in the hustle.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"stag-divider stag-divider--dashed\" \/>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/decibel.one\/gods-grace-endless-his-love-relentless\/\">Watch to see how God wants to practically supply all of your needs<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><div class=\"share-box fusion-sharing-box boxed-icons\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;\" data-title=\"Why you can find rest in the hustle\" data-description=\"Why you can find rest in the hustle \r\n\r\nJoey O | 4 min read \r\n\r\nThe hustle.
