For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Hebrews 4:10
EB 4:10{After forgiveness there comes a thought of great comfort in our freshly felt helplessness, rising out of the very thing that makes us realize this helplessness. Just because our influence is to such a great extent involuntary and unconscious, we may rest assured that if we ourselves are truly kept for Jesus, this will be, as a quite natural result, kept for Him also. It cannot be otherwise, for as is the fountain, so will be the flow; as the spring, so the action; as the impulse, so the communicated motion. Thus there may be, and in simple trust there will be, a quiet rest about it, a relief from all sense of strain and effort, a fulfilling of the words, "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His." It will not be a matter of trying to have good influence, but just of having it, as naturally and constantly as the magnetized bar.
Resting on the faithfulness of Christ our Lord.
Resting on the fullness of His own sure word;
Resting on His power, on His love untold;
Resting on His covenant secured of old.
Resting and believing, let us onward press,
Resting in Himself, the Lord our Righteousness;
Resting and rejoicing, let His saved ones sing,
Glory, glory, glory be to Christ our King!
