Enter Into A Place Of Rest

(Dialogue Thought)

What is rest, what do we call it? Is it a time of sleep, or do we say it  a time away from all trouble; can we enter into rest?

Hebrew 4:1

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.


***God has promised us his rest, if we will hear, keep and do what  He has told us. Many of us have come short of his promise, because we have disobeyed him.

***Within God's rest is a place of peace within Him also. A time to rest from all our work, not only physical but spiritual work: the pressures, troubles and cares of this world that holds us down. As we journey each day to do physical work, we should have joy and peace within our spirit, if not, we have not entered into His rest. 


Hebrews 4:9,10

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

***There is still another chance for us, Christians, to rest in the Lord, but we must labor in His word and keep his commandments in order to rest within Him. Taking our cares and concerns to the cross and leaving them there will give us peace, meanwhile, we can rest in His love and shield of protection.


***Many times we work from sun up to sun down - we do not have joy or peace to give others, because we have not rested and there is none to give.  Seeking that rest and peace in the Lord is the best thing we can do for ourself and our family.  We are the strong one in our family life: for our children and spouse.  We must take back what Satan has stolen from us, and in return reserve it for us, our family and friends.


Let's continue to labor to enter that place of rest within the Lord.


Until we meet again soon.
