The Believer's Rest



1.

Today's Passage: Hebrews 4:1-13


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).





2.

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

2nd strategy
Meditation in 
WORSHIP

God is able to speak to us through those words that we read and reread, as we think about what we have read and ponder those words infiltrate our minds and change us. They give us a better understanding of what God is saying in His word. Through that better understanding we begin to think differently, and our attitudes and lives change. Even our actions toward ourselves, others and the world change to be more Christlike.

And isn't that what Christians desire? To be Christ like. To be Christ followers. To know God.


With these precepts or tenets in place, let us begin with WORSHIP.

  • Begin with asking God to open your heart to what He has for you to hear today.
  • Read a passage of the Scripture
  • Is a miracle in the passage? Is a relationship deepened in some way? Has God stepped in and shown His power,
  • Has he shown His discipline or even His protection or His end goal?
  • Has Jesus, lived life, shown love, or taught?
  • Whatever the passage holds that brings you an awareness of who He is, praise Him for that revelation.
  • Give Him glory and honor and praise. Thank Him for what He has given.
  • Think on these things. Ponder them. Reread the passage. Write about what you read. Pray! This is Worship!
  • Thank God for His presence this moment.


1. God's promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it.
2. For this good news ⏤ that God has prepared this rest ⏤ has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn't share the faith of those who listened to God.
3. For only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said,
"In my anger I took an oath: 'They will never enter my place of rest,' "
even though this rest has been ready since he made the world.
4. We know it is ready where it mentions the seventh day: "On the seventh day God rested from all his work."
5. But in the other passage God said, "They will never enter my place of rest.'

6. So God's rest is there for people to enter, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God.
7. So God set another time for entering his rest, and that time is today, God announced this through David much later in the words already quoted:
"Today when you hear his voice, don't harden your hearts."
8. Now if Joshua had succeeded in giving them this rest, God would not have spoken about another day of rest still to come.
9. So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God.
10. For all who have entered into God's rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world.
11. So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.

12. For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
13. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.
Hebrews 4:1-13 NLT

Ohhhhh how exposed we are in the eye of God. Not just our flesh, not just our actions, but the very heart of the motivation we move into in the days we live.
