Rest My Child

It is not an accident that God rested on the seventh day. He created rest, and He created His image-bearers to desire times of rest and enjoyment. Our sin has interrupted this. We either pursue rest to the point of laziness or we refuse rest to the point of exhaustion or illness. Either way, true rest eludes us. Jesus has purchased our rest from spiritual striving, and He calls us to find lasting rest and satisfaction in Him.

Hebrews 4:1-2

Promised Rest for God’s People

4 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.
