I Want To Rest
If we were to poll all of the people whose hearts have become hardened, how many of them do you suppose would already be aware of that condition in themselves? My suspicion is not many. How does this happen, that the very people of God begin to ignore His voice? Could we believe ourselves to be generally “good guys” and thus rarely stop for self-examination? Do we water down the truth of God’s exaltation of Jesus? Do we demand to still be spoon fed truth, when we could and should be out there using it to teach and nourish others?
I’m sure that you, like me, very much look forward to times of rest. There’s nothing like a good rest after work well done. After a long work out. After finals. After completing all the chores in the house after it looks like a sharknado has come through. And at the end of my (hopefully long and active) life, I. Want. To. Rest.
Lord, protect and warn me from places where my heart could grow hard and keep me from your rest!
