REST – Is God Resting or Rested? So what does your REST look like?

Hebrews 4 talks about the REST of God.

The rest of God he did on the seventh day according to Genesis 2:1-3 KJV “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”

God rested from all his work he had created and made, blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.

All the work of God was finished, completed and accomplished. God did have to go back and say I missed this or that it was all done, completed and accomplished and finished in the beginning.

So we must learn to rest in the finished, completed and accomplished work of God.

REST is a Relaxing, Ease up/off, Stay in a specific position and Take a breather.

We must get to a place of trusting God to do what he has already completed, accomplished, finished and done in the beginning of the foundation about our affairs.

We must become secure in the fact that God know what He planned, and purpose as we go through the process and progress in ways we cannot even image.

We must realize that He established all the obstacles and hurdles so we can seek Him first and not be the last resource.

We must acknowledge that He wants a relationship with us and entering into His rest will allow us to be focus on Him and not others. He wants us to rest in him for His connection, His correlations and His correspondence we give Him.

When you hear the word rest do you think about sleeping. For in the rest of God we talking about becoming so dependable on God that you rest in the fact and on the knowing that God will do what He he planned, set, established, prepared in the beginning.

In Proverbs 8:27-29 KJV states he turned (P.A.G.E.S. / G.A.S.P.S.) which means He prepared, set, established, strengthened, gave and appointed things in the beginning with the Word, His Spirit by using His wisdom, discernment, understanding and knowledge to call forth His rest.

“When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

Since God rested on the seventh day when He had done, finished, completed and accomplished the work; we need to rest in Him from the time we come up against a situation, problem, trouble, circumstances and is to much for us.

Did you know one thing that when God had done, finished, completed and accomplished the work he rested that means God is still resting now. It says “…he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

The word Rested implies that it is done. God Rested in the beginning which means he is resting now.

Scripture Reading:

Hebrews 4:1-16 KJV

“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
