"There remaineth therefore, a rest to the people of God." Hebrews 4:9
"Ah! Christian, the hot day of weariness lasts not for ever; the sun is nearing the horizon; it shall rise again with a brighter day than thou hast ever seen, upon a land where they serve God day and night, and yet rest from their labours. Here, rest is but partial, there, it is perfect. Here, the Christian is always unsettled; he feels that he has not yet attained. There, all are at rest; they have attained the summit of their mountain; they have ascended to the bosom of their God. Higher they cannot go. Ah, toil-worn labourer, only think when though shalt rest for ever! Canst thou conceive it? It is a rest eternal; a rest that 'remaineth.' " Charles Spurgeon
Rest is coming :o)
Not yet here at 14 Maple. Hopefully you find it sooner than us...but not the type of rest that Spurgeon discusses here. That rest can wait a while yet.
ReplyDeleteYep. For now, I'll enjoy the quiet rest of two girls napping at the same time... and a second cup of coffee! But I do look forward to the real eternal rest! ;o)
ReplyDeleteThanks for that reminder Jess!
