“For he that is entered into His [God’s] rest, he also hath ceased from his own works” (Hebrews 4:10).
Some of us like to have everything in perfect order in our lives, whether in our personal life, our home life, our school life, or our work life. There is nothing wrong with leading an orderly life, but if we expect everything to go perfectly smoothly in our life, we will find that the Lord continually allows something to disrupt that perfection that we want. Why does He do this? It is because He wants us to enter into His rest.
God’s rest is not down here, in a world of sin. No, His rest is up there in heaven, where the Lord Jesus is sitting on His Father’s throne. When the Lord Jesus comes for us, we will go to be with Him, and enjoy that heavenly rest. God does not want us to settle down and become too comfortable here, for it is not our rest. He wants us to enjoy His rest, by faith, and to rise above our problems down here.
