All who have entered into God's rest
have rested from their labors,
just as God did after creating the
world. (Hebrews 4:10 NLT)/
Christ is God's Sabbath. Christ is our
Sabbath. When we enter by faith
into Christ's righteousness, we enter
into God's rest. It is a
tremendous power.... The Lord says,
in quite simple language, "If only
you will trust Me, and trust My
provision, and stop worrying, stop
fretting, stop being anxious; if you will
but believe Me, I have the
ground upon which I could meet all
your need; I am no longer without
ground. There was a time when I had
not the ground upon which to do
anything with you, and for you, but
now you are on the ground of
Christ, the ground which I have
provided; if only you will trust Me,
if only you will rest in Me to bring you
through, you will be saved
from so much of this weakness, and
fret, and anxiety!" Worry is a
destroying thing. At the back of a lot
that we suffer in body, and in
mind, there is so often a secret,
hidden restlessness, something deep
down in our subconscious being of a
fret, an anxiety, something that
is not rest. It takes many forms.
Sometimes over a concern of the
Lord's we feel that, unless we do it, it
will never be done. We feel
that if we are not up and at it, then
the whole thing will go to
pieces; so much depends upon us.
No one will think that this is the call
for passivity, for abandon of
concern for the things of the Lord; but
it is possible for us to have
the things of the Lord on our hearts
and yet not to have faith in God
about them. There are hidden secrets
to a great deal of our weakness
and defeat, and unnecessary
suffering. They are the hidden things
of
something which is other than just
restful faith in God. There are
some people who need to take things
to heart a little more than they
do, but for many the trouble is
perhaps of the other kind. They are
thinking that they have to run God's
universe for Him; they must look
after things or else they will never be
looked after! But to observe
the Sabbath (no one will take that literally as meaning the
observance
of a particular day of the week), to
recognize Christ as God's Rest
through righteousness, to observe /
that/, to keep /that/ Sabbath, is
Life which conquers death, because it
is righteousness which cannot be
destroyed.
