Cleaning around the house, the Lord gave me a Scripture in Hebrews. I have seen this passage before many years ago when the He was trying to teach me, but because I didn’t take time to listen and I forgot it until now……..

Hebrews 4:1-11 (NLT)
¹ God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it.
² For this good news—that God has prepared this rest—has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God.
³ For only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said, “In my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest,’” even though this rest has been ready since he made the world.
⁴ We know it is ready because of the place in the Scriptures where it mentions the seventh day: “On the seventh day God rested from all his work.”
⁵ But in the other passage God said, “They will never enter my place of rest.”
⁶ So God’s rest is there for people to enter, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God.
⁷ So God set another time for entering his rest, and that time is today. God announced this through David much later in the words already quoted: “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.”
⁸ Now if Joshua had succeeded in giving them this rest, God would not have spoken about another day of rest still to come.
⁹ So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God.
¹⁰ For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world.
¹¹ So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.

God rest is two-fold, the eternal rest that we who believe will have one day in Heaven and the rest we can now have on the earth through Jesus Christ.

In the Greek “katapausis” means a resting place; the Heavenly blessedness in which God dwells, and of which He has promised to preserve believers in Christ and for us to be partakers of after our life on earth has ended.

This is the rest that He is showing me today, a rest whereby, we have given Him all  (spirit,soul, body). A place of peace that surpasses all understanding, where we believe Him for all things. A place where we trust in the Lord and lean not to our own understanding. A place where we know He will lead us besides still waters, through the ruff places in life. A place of no fear of tomorrow because we serve the one who holds it.

God let all have this revelation of your REST in our walk with you, so that we may be partakers of your blessedness and while preserving us in life trials!
