“There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.” Hebrews 4:9-10
God created rest for His people. He was an excellent role model because He created the heavens and the earth and all living things in six days and rested on the seventh day. When God tells you to rest in Him, He is saying come to Me by faith and I will provide for all your needs. You don’t have to strive because every thing you need is readily available from My resurrected life. Don’t go to the world or other gods but seek Me out. Follow My example and cease from your works and dwell in My house of rest.
God has made a promise that He will give you an abundant life and bless the desires of your heart. Our great God wants to give you more than you ask or think. To receive this promise you have to hear the truth and accept it by faith. Then you will enter into His rest. The obstacle blocking many believers is disobedience to God. You fall into unbelief and give up on God during the hard times or you have a hot and cold relationship with God. When life is good, God is good!
The works of God have been finished! He created you in His image and gave you His Son. Jesus offers the gift of eternal life! He forgives all your sins and offers Himself to live in you in the form of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit brings life and renewal.
You can experience the rest of God every day of your life! Draw near to God through prayer and develop an inner consciousness of His Spirit dwelling within you. Seek out God for all your needs and be obedient to the leading of His Spirit.
Without faith it is impossible to please God!
