LABOR TO ENTER GOD'S REST!

From the desk of Dr. Mary Tisdale Green

RECOVER ALL WEDNESDAY

I guess you would say what am I talking about “LABOR TO ENTER GOD’S REST”.I am talking about going through  situation  and I also experienced difficulties in resting in the Lord; relaxing without giving much thought on problems.  There are so many negative situations and problems surrounding us and our eyes tend to focus on them and making us feeling troubled and anxious.
. I know that problems are real and they need to be dealt with, but I know I can never ever solve them by myself and I may even mess up therefore what I can do is to let go of my every problem and just enjoying the joy and peace in the Holy Spirit.

Laboring is a work so it is ok to feel like a work when you are  meditating the word of God, singing songs to God and study His word . 

Keep on making an effort to do the things  to enter into God’s rest because in Hebrews 4:11 it is written Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest. Diligent means constant effort to accomplish something. Therefore never give up until you feel relaxed and resting all the days of your life in whatever you are doing. God the Holy Spirit has been reminding me that Jesus and I are one because it is written that Jesus is in me (John 17:23) and in 1 John 4:17 as Jesus is so am I in this world. And Apostle Paul also said that I am in Christ (Ephesian 2:6), so I never need to worry about me being blessed and enjoying the things of God because God is the One who shall make me look good for His name sake. This is rest as I never need to think of how to be blessed or how to get His blessings manifest in my life so I can enjoy as Jesus and I are one. If I am suffering, so will He, therefore He will surely do something about it. Amen!
