4So we are bound to worry that some of you might seem to have missed out on God’s promise of entering his rest, the promise which is still open before us. 2For we certainly had the good news announced to us, just as they did; but the word which they heard didn’t do them any good, because they were not united in faith with those who heard it.

9Thus we conclude: there is still a future sabbath ‘rest’ for God’s people. 10Anyone who enters that ‘rest’ will take a rest from their works, as God did from his.  11So, then, let’s make every effort to enter that ‘rest’, so that nobody should trip and fall through the same pattern of unbelief.

O Lord God

When you give to your servants to endeavour any great matter

grant us to know that it is not the beginning,

but the continuing of it,

until it be thoroughly finished,

which yields the true glory,

through him

who for the finishing of your work

laid down his life,

our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Francis Drake
