A Very Special Rest

"So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God.For all who have entered into God's rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world."
Hebrews 4: 9, 10

Though there is an everlasting rest for us in heaven, the Lord is the same to us even in this world, promising undisturbed rest as long as we are in His government, liberating us from all our cocerns and labor, asking us to place all our anxieties on Him.

His Abode With Us Gives Victory And Rest

"Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength."
Psalm 132:8

To be assured of God's presence in us with all His grace and power is so much inevitable, so that when we set forth for a purpsoe, all our barriers will abscond (Josh.3:14-17), all enemies will scatter and retreat before Him, and when we rest, we will have an intimate fellowship with the King of kings (Num.10:35,36).

His Word Is Our Guide And Rest

"Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my justice to rest for a light of the people."
Isaiah 51:4

Let us diligently learn to live by His Word that proceeds from His mouth, because it is the light of revelation, unfolding all mysteries of our future, guiding our every step, relieving us from all our anxieties and giving us rest.

Absolute Rest

"In that wonderful day when the LORD gives his people rest from sorrow and fear, from slavery and chains,you will taunt the king of Babylon. You will say, "The mighty man has been destroyed. Yes, your insolence is ended."
Isaiah 14:3,4

The Lord will soon bring all our tiresome agony and humiliating bondage to an end and give us absolute rest, which would be the end of the tyrant. God will do this with all vengeance and might on our oppressor that all mankind will come to know of our Savior and Redeemer (49:26).

Do The Best & Leave The Rest To God

"Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The LORD will do what is good in his sight."
2 Samuel 10:12

If we are the ones seeking the welfare of our children or people, we need a strong will to react without any strain when they are in trouble, willing to do the maximum and leaving the result to God, on whom alone the success counts.

Rest For The Soul

"Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you."
Psalm 116:7

When anxiety messes up our spirit and when sorrow annoys our mind, let us seek to find rest in God alone, from whom we have tasted the blessed solace in our past. So when we are agitated again, let us turn to Him who attends to us with the highest tolerance and consideration, no matter how many times we go to Him. He always deals with us magnanimously, supplementing His love for us, thereby easing our soul.

God is our Safeguard, Rest and Triumph

"The eternal God is your refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you saying, "Destroy him".
Deuteronomy 33:27

In a world filled with perils, God is our shelter, protecting us from any outbreak, harm or disaster. In Him we find comfort, consolation, ease and rest. With Him we are guaranteed triumph over rivals however mighty they may be.
