It’s Time To Rest

 With so much going on in the world and so much going on in our lives it is easy to get over whelmed.   Hebrew chapter 4 says there is a rest for the people of God, but disbelief can keep us from entering into that rest.  There is nothing that can relieve stress like the rest of God!   But how do we enter into that rest?   We do so by faith!   The key is in Hebrew 4 

For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works,[e] 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


If we enter into God’s rest we also rest from our own works…

Stop meddling…Stop scheming…Let go of worry…cast down fear…Stop trying to control!   

I can’t imagine the stress that Joshua went through walking 40 years through the wilderness and finally crossing the Jordan only to be faced with circumcision and the walls of Jericho   Yet as Joshua trusted God’s plan and God’s timing faith brought them through to the promise land    If we want to enter God’s rest we must trust God’s plan and God’s timing    


Can you trust God today?    Yes!   Yes, you can!
