Blessings in the Mighty Name of Yeshua Hamashiach!
When I watch the news and listen to other media outlets, it all sounds like noise! We must position ourselves to hear from God and God only!
Hebrews 3:7-13 NIV
" So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, [8] do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness, [9] where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did. [10] That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’ [11] So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ” [12] See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. [13] But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness."
This rest that is spoken of is not the retirement from manual labor. This Rest is a Place in God, and it refers to a spiritual rest from confusion, worry, stress, useless human effort, and a break from all internal, external, mortal, and spiritual enemies.
The idea is that to rest and be at peace, one must dwell in the presence of the Lord, surrendered to His lordship.
Shalom
