The Rest Of God

For we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) do enter that rest, in accordance with His declaration that those [who did not believe] should not enter when He said, As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest; and this He said although [His] works had been completed and prepared [and waiting for all who would believe] from the foundation of the wold. [Ps. 95:11.]
                                                                                                 
                                                                                                   (Hebrews 4:3)


Hebrew 4:3 teaches that those who did not listen to God's Word or obey His instructions did not enter into the place of rest He offered them. So when you feel frustrated or upset, or if you lose your peace and your joy, ask yourself, "Am I believing God's Word?"

The only way we will ever be free from struggling is to believe the Word and obey whatever Jesus puts in our hearts to do. Believing God's Word delivers us from struggling so that we can rest in the promises of God.

Are you in need of God's rest? Adhere to Him, trust in Him and rely on Him and experience the rest He has prepared for you.

The Rest of God

Hebrews 4:3 teaches that those who believe God enter into His rest. Experiencing His rest is one way you can tell whether you are really in faith, or whether you are just trying to have faith. When you truly enter into the realm of faith, you enter into the rest of God.

Rest is freedom from excessive reasoning, struggle, fear, inner turmoil, worry, and frustration, which develop because of our working to do what only God can do. Being in God 's rest is not necessarily resting from physical activity, but resting in confidence in the midst of everything that goes on in life. It is a rest of the soul where the mind, will, and emotions are at peace.

You can rest in God because you know He will take care of you and meet your needs. You do not know when or how, and you really do not care because you are enjoying the life you have right now while God works on your problem.

God wants us to live at peace and in His rest. But in order for us to do that, we need to believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]" (Hebrews 11:6).

If you are worn out, I urge you to enter into God's rest. I encourage you to quit trying to control everyone and everything around you and simply allow God to do for you what only He can do.

No matter what you face, God wants to help you and give you rest.
