The Rest That is Heart Warming and Soul Comforting

The Sabbath-rest talked about in this verse today speaks of a rest only obtained by believing, and trusting in God’s promises. God rested on the seventh day from all His works creating everything. The word “rested” implying a need for recuperation from exhausting work, was not the case with Almighty God. He stopped to observe and appreciate what He had created, and said “It was good” (Genesis 1:31). We are to follow this example of God, from time to time we must pull away from the hustle and bustle of life. Looking back on our achievements and to physically rest and recuperate from our works. Because unlike the Lord we have a need to recharge and refresh our souls. It is because of unbelief that people are not experiencing this rest from God. To experience the rest that God gives, we must have an understanding of how things work in God’s program. Oh, you didn’t’ know there was a program, because nothing like this comes from God automatically, we must go after it. There’s always His mercy when we’re not trying or doing what we are supposed to be doing. But God will allow you to stay on that level if you’re not willing to do the work of studying to find out what’s good with that Sabbath-rest. We can all use a break from our daily struggles and the Sabbath-rest is intended for our pit stop along the way of fulfilling our destiny with the Lord. The Sabbath-Rest brings along with it, a heart warming and soul comforting experience of being nurtured by God in a way that going on vacation could never do.
