Having Rest
Matthew 11:28-29
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Hebrews 4:9
There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
Psalms 37:7
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Isaiah 28:12
To whom he said, “This is the resting place, let the weary rest”; and, “This is the place of repose”— but they would not listen.
Psalms 127:1
Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
Thoughts on This Verse....
"It's all up to you!" That's the prevailing mindset for high achievers in our world. But it is wrong. Our efforts to build and be a part of something great are ultimately in vain if the Lord doesn't bless our them. They may flourish for a time under our intense efforts, but if the plans and the construction of great things are not from the Lord, they will not stand the test of time.
