Rest in His goodness and see Him accelerate all the blessings. “You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.” (Psalms 65:11 NKJV) Hebrews 3:10-12 - We rest in God through faith in Him. “Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways;’ as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’” Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;” (Hebrews 3:10-12 WEB) Pastor Lian shared a testimony of a woman who chose to rest in God and experienced her accelerated healing. Matthew 11:28-29 - The word “labor” in Greek is “kopiaó” which means wearisome labor. The words “heavily burdened” in the Greek means to be anxious. The word “rest” in the Greek means to remain, to be refreshed, to take ease. There is a rest that Jesus gives, and there is a rest that we find. When we put Jesus in the center of our lives, we will find His rest. ““Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:28-29 WEB) Resting means not be using your own effort to force, drive, nag, etc. Let go and let God take over. Pastor Lian shared a testimony of a student who was struggling in Chinese, but after she learned to rest in Jesus, she scored a good result in her final examinations. Isaiah 30:15 - The word for “returning” in Hebrew is “teshuvah”. The last Hebrew letter in the word is “hei” which means grace. We return to grace. The word for “saved” in Hebrew is “yasha” which means defend, deliver, help, preserve, get victory, etc. “For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, “You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused,” (Isaiah 30:15 WEB) John 1:17 - Grace is Jesus Himself. Return to Jesus. “For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17 WEB)
