Trust & Rest (E)

Read: Isaiah 14: 3, 17: 8; Hebrews 4: 10-11

You relief from suffering and turmoil and cruel bondage.

Isaiah 14: 3

      Today we need to pray for earthquake in China and Japan. May God heal their suffering, so they can know God who has done, in order to believe in Him. Today I shall give you two principles in Rest, then next time, we shall finish this topic.

(4)  Relief from suffering. (Comfort in Rest)

        In Isaiah 14: 3 said, "you relief from suffering and turmoil and cruel bondage."  And Psalms 17: 8 said, "Keep me as the apple of your hide me in the shadow of your wing." God will give His comfort for rest, He helps us to relieve from suffering and turmoil, and cruel bondage, whatever we face trouble or turmoil or bondage, He will make a way out where seem no way, and He will make a way for us, so God hides us in the shadow of His wing.

(5)  Rest his work. (Hebrews 4: 10-11)

        "For anyone who enter God's rest also rests for his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience."

         God has given us his example of creation, in Genesis 2: 2 said, "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so one the seventh day he rested  from all his work." so that we obey God for est for our own work, so that we can recharge to do much greater than later.

         Next time, we will connect Trust and Rest in Habakkuk and Job.

God will relieve your bondage, You rest, let He does for you.
