Good Morning.  Here’s Today’s Nugget to chew on:

“Choose to Rest”

Hebrews 4:1-3 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

1 Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered [today], let us be afraid [to distrust it], lest any of you should think he has come too late and has come short of [reaching] it.

2 For indeed we have had the glad tidings [Gospel of God] proclaimed to us just as truly as they [the Israelites of old did when the good news of deliverance from bondage came to them]; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they united in faith with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe).

3 For we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) do enter that rest, in accordance with His declaration that those [who did not believe] should not enter when He said, As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest; and this He said although [His] works had been completed and prepared [and waiting for all who would believe] from the foundation of the world.

11 Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest [of God, to know and experience it for ourselves], that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience [into which those in the wilderness fell].

Further Thought:  Today’s passage reminds us that we enter the rest of God by choosing to believe what He has said.  Now, once you have entered God’s rest, stay with it; don’t come out.  Hold on to your confession of faith without wavering, according to Hebrews 10:23, for God is faithful who made the promise.  As you enter this day of rest, understand that there is no anxiety, unforgiveness, or bitterness in the rest of God.

Have a great day, and keep chewing on God’s Word.
