So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath-rest reserved for the [true] people of God; For he who has once entered [God's] rest also has ceased from [the weariness and pain] of human labors, just as God rested from those labors peculiarly His own.
(HEBREWS 4:9-10)
If you are troubled and upset, worried and worn out about all the changes that need to be made in you, why not enter the rest of God? Struggling won't change you-neither will frustration or worry. The more you rest in God, the faster you will see change. If the canvas struggled under the artist's paint brush, the painting would never get finished. The canvas is perfectly still, totally submitted to the artist's wisdom and creativity. That is exactly the way we must be with God. He knows what He is doing and how to do it. We should believe in Him and enter His rest.

ReplyDeleteRead with interest! I just published a book called “Enter the Rest – Lessons from the epistle to the Hebrews” that address what The epistle is about, it goals, target and main message which is resting in God, in depth. Somebody called it: An Israeli's perspective on the Jewishness of the epistle to the Hebrews. You may be interested reading it.
