WHO BELIEVE THE REPORT OF HEBREWS 4:2?
SLEEPING ON THE JOB IS NOT REST!
HEBREWS 4:1-4
 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
 First, there is an urgency regarding the offer of rest. It must be seized while it is today, for a “tomorrow” is coming when it will be too late, just as there was for the ancient Israelites. Second, rest appears to be a day-by-day, “one day at a time” experience. It is not something that we believe for the moment, but rather something we believe and lay hold of day after day.
As it says, “Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks!Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion” (Hebrews 3:15, referring to Psalm 95:7b).
PRAYER:  Thank you Lord for laying the foundation and opening up the way that we may enter your rest, In Jesus name, Amen.
