God’s Rest Is My Rest!

September 22, 2019

Hebrews 3:7 – Hebrews 4:16; Numbers 13; Numbers 14

God’s Rest: A place of peace; a settled heart, mind; freedom from striving in my own strength. Assurance of end result.

Rest …. Not inactivity or absence of challenges

External Bondage

Moods/actions of others (close or not)

Family

Customers; bank; lenders; legal

Enemies

Internal Bondage

Fear – inferior, grasshopper mentality

Shame – rehearsal of regret

Pride – self-sufficient, independent

What keeps me from God’s Rest? Unbelief. (Hebrews 3:12; Hebrews 4:1-3)

The chain of unbelief: disobedience; the deceitfulness of sin; hardness of heart.

★BEWARE  of evil (unbelief)

★Be diligent …. Be connected, transparent (Hebrews 3:12, 13)
