Rest And Leave The Rest to Him...

Hebrews 4:10 "...the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works..."

Historically, much of what I based my confidence in was in some way related to my works, my efforts, my ideas...all that I contributed.

It's becoming increasingly clearer to me that I have nothing to add but simple, child-like faith. Herein lies true freedom! I don't need to strain - I simply release my grip and relinquish control.

I reveal my trust in my Unseen yet Fully Present God when I stop striving.

If I strive at all, it must be in my efforts to 'be diligent to enter that Rest' which is promised.

Hebrews 4:16 "...let us draw near with confidence to the throne of Grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need..."

So I shall be intentional in my attempts to remain in Rest. And trust my King to handle the rest.
