Scripture: Hebrews 4:9-11 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
Observation: We get our Sabbath rest from God. Rest is for God's people. We are His people. When we rest, we are also to rest from work. Not having rest = disobedience. Others could perish as a result of our poor example. Yikes!
Application: Verse 11 is the action. I need to make every effort to rest. Entering into God’s rest is purposeful.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for calling me to rest. I realize I am stronger and able to persevere longer when I have intervals of rest. I am blessed to be with you, resting in you. Lord, I am not worthy of your love. You overwhelm me.
