Are You Rested?

“Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.”

    Ovid;  (Ancient Roman Classical Poet)

 

Hebrews 4:6-11

      Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience, He again fixes a certain day, “Today,” saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.”  For if 1Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.  So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.  For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.     Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience. (NASB95)

Have you rested from your works?  A lot of what defeats us is our own fault. We are either trying to meet someone’s approval or have set up a standard for our flesh and we are trying to prove our worth to society or to God.

Well are you ready for a rest? i hope so, I know that I am. I want to rest in the worth of what Jesus did for me on the cross and tell the world that it was enough. If we would all do that we would not feel defeated as much as we do.

Christ has paved the way for you and I and all we have to do is follow in His footsteps. Yes, He will carry you at times, but He still expects us to find His trail for ourselves and do our best to follow Him, and He will cover our mistakes. If we all sought the approval of Christ on our lives, many of our struggles would end…God Bless.
