This morning, I was researching ‘entering his rest’ in
Hebrews 4. I didn’t know what that meant so I pulled out the ‘big books’ to explore this concept. At the same time, I opened an email from my brother which had a song attached to it. He said it made him think of me. I went back to my research, writing this definition of entering his rest: a covenant relation to Christ and a state of communion with God through Christ, and of growing up therein until we are made perfect in Glory.
After writing the last word, the song seemed louder somehow. The lyrics were about resting in Him! I often wonder if he smiles whenever I get what he is telling me. He speaks so clearly. I then play “In Rest” by Travis Cottrell, hanging on to the words, In rest, You make me new.
Sometimes, we just have to rest. Concentrate on following Him… He will take care of the rest.
