As I sit to read, and now
write, my life is pretty stressful. I won’t chronicle my life here, but trust me
I’m walking under a tough road right now. Probably because of my personal
circumstances, the word “rest” flew off the page and into my
heart.
3a: Now we who have believed enter that rest,
…
9-10: There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who
enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did
from his.
Verse 10 was a particular
source of comfort and Holy Spirit living water… for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work. Wow,
amidst the stress of life I can rest even from the work I must do. I can rest
from the necessary work of these days even as God rested from the work of
creation!
This word fills me with
peace; that I will find rest in Jesus as I follow Him during this valley
time…
Lord, my
heart sings to You, my God. You are with me in the muck and mire of life. You
are with me in the valley of decision and in the storm seas of life. You are
with me and You will allow me to enter Your rest, even as life rages about
me.
Lord, may I
be faithful to You, today and every day. Through Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen.
