To my UBC family: enjoy your rest.
“There remains, then a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us then make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish following their example of disobedience.
Hebrews 4:9-12, NIV
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sward, it penetrates even to dividing the soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Much of the fog enveloping us
after a stressful season
of production and effort
will lift if we can rest.
Rest allows you to listen.
Rest must be accompanied
with refuelling.
Like Elijah who ran
until he could no longer run,
its time to lay down your head and
then get up
and eat.
Eat this Word:
“anyone who enters God’s rest
also rests from their works.”
Heavenly Father,
grant to our students and friends,
good rest, in the name
of Jesus,
AMEN
