Longing For The Rest

There are times in our walks that we are faced with the challenge of no rest. Perhaps our employer requires us to work seven days a week. It could be that we are in the armed services at war, and we are being shot at. Or we could be on the brink of losing everything, and have to stay in the battle until we have our deliverance. This latter condition is just the spiritual side of the case of being at physical war. My writing today is dedicated to all those that find themselves in this situation. Never give up, never give in! One day soon, Yahuah (Lord) will give us the opportunity to gain rest as well.

Hebrews 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

We long for the rest. The rest here refers to the weekly Sabbath, in Greek. Our Father will get us out of the battle and in to the DMZ for a time of rest. But until that time, we must fight every moment like we did in the first few moments of battle.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Let Your kingdom be with us. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts, for we are a broken people. Deliver us from the evil that has stolen and is stealing from us. Restore today one hundred times one hundred fold, and hundreds of hundreds. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
