The heart of man naturally seeks rest, and seeks it here. Now there is no rest to be found here for the saints; but it is written, `There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." To know this is both full of blessing and full of sorrow: sorrow to the flesh, because it is always seeking its rest here, so it has always to be disappointed- blessing to the spirit because the spirit, being born of God, can only rest in God's own rest, as it is said, "If they shall enter into My rest" (Heb. 4:4, 5). What God desires for us is to bring us into the enjoyment of all that which He Himself enjoys.
