1Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. 2For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.
Hebrews 4:1-2
It hit me today that not being able to enter God's is such a terrible thing.
because today I had so many burdens on my heart that weighed so deep.
Like the burden for the lost people around me
but also the burden of always WORRYING about it and thinking of all these things I had to do or I should do but I'm not doing and I really just wanted to be free from them.
like maybe if I said this or that or prayed more or prayed harder or prepared my sermon more or was able to open up more then these people would listen and live their lives for God.
but the next part of this passage says....
3Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,
"So I declared on oath in my anger,
'They shall never enter my rest.' "[b] And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. 4For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: "And on the seventh day God rested from all his work."[c] 5And again in the passage above he says, "They shall never enter my rest."
Hebrews 4:3-4
God is SO BIG
in one way He has already finished His work and in another He is still working
so for us who believe in one way we rest knowing that God has finished it but we also work knowing that its not done.
The hard part is figuring and discerning and
I dunno its just weird.
I can pray and worship God
but I also pray and cry to God.
and I have no clue which I should be doing!
cuz I feel guilty if I'm not crying and enjoying God instead but then I feel like I'm missing out on something God has given to me when I'm always crying or that I'm not getting the full picture!
