Heb 3:15 "Today" (November 6)
Hebrews 3:15 ~ "Today, if you hear his voice,do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." The children of Israel provoked God for forty years while in their wilderness. They were unable to enter His Rest because of their unbelief. What parts of my life hold No Rest for me? My thoughts? My drive? My motivation? My success? My philosophy? My evaluation of my life? Am I finding a deep Rest in a Good God, no matter what life has brought my way. Today is all we have. Enter His Rest---nothing to do with being tired; everything to do with being transformed

After weddings, I am so wound up that I rarely fall asleep easily. Entering God's Rest has nothing to do with being tired, but everything to do with believing God with a soft heart opened toward Him alone. God's Rest is far more desired. A tired body recovers. Faithlessness is the torment of hell, sometimes forever.
ReplyDeleteToday...while it is still today. Opportunity awaits. Still a few more hours. What would He have me do?
I pray that He had you rest in Him and sit and be still and know that He is God. He just said that to me... said it last night as I wrestled with pride issues and embarresment issued and shame and He told me then to be still and know that He was God...NOT me. Don't know IF that makes any sense but I did not have His total rest and finally got some, only to have the enemy rear his ugly head as I left church and send me into a tail spin which I am just now coming out of....thanks to Him. It truly is ALL grace...he is teaching me that. Know it, but seeing it more plainly right NOW than I've ever seen it. God is so good to this one who is THAT wretch in the song....Blessing on you dear Annette. Your words were used..not really sure how,but they were,is all I know. Praying that the rest of the Pearls have His rest tonight...especially sweet,dear Bev.
ReplyDeleteYes, God's Rest is my prayer for each of you. Love that it is Peace like a river, not a stagnant pond. He is so much more. And rest amid the disappointments, embarrassments, aggravations, and chaos of this world is a sweet commodity.
ReplyDeleteAnd when we get that it is all grace, that is a place of sweet rest indeed, Mary Lou. I have to reach to even begin to grasp that thought.
