Rest People

Isaiah 28 :11-12


For with stammering lips and another tongue
He will speak to this people,
¹² To whom He said, “This is the rest with which
You may cause the weary to rest,”
And, “This is the refreshing”;
Yet they would not hear.


God says, His ways and thoughts are not our ways or thoughts.  He says, our worlds wisdom is foolishness to Him.  We can't expect to have rest and a piece of mind, dealing with our worlds foolishness.  God asks, that we strive each day to have peaceful lives.  His word says, He didn't come to bring peace as the world determines peace, but a sword.  God's intentions, are that we study and learn His word, that we may no how to interact with Him when He brings us home.  Verse 11 says, For with stammering lips and another tongue
He will speak to this people."  God has ordained lives for us, and only when we give up our life to find this life, will He speak to us accordingly.  God performs signs, wonders, and miracles, and He will only share these treasures, when He knows we are obeying His commands and seeking His rest.  (Hebrews 4:1-6)  "Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. ² For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. ³ For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: “So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest,’”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world."  Everything has been done for us, through Jesus Christ's walk, now it is up to us to show our appreciation.  Only true sincere faith in God and His word, will gain us this rest.  Our world is working us like Hebrew slaves and God is not at all happy with the measures they are using.  We read what was done to Pharaoh, by using these tactics on his bondservants,  (Ephesians6:5-8) "Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; ⁶ not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, ⁷ with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, ⁸ knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free. And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him."   Rest people. 

Blessings to allwho seek His rest,
