Enter
Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Hebrews 4:1-3
I entered several locations this week, and not once was I denied entry. These were places of business, work and home. These places were welcoming for me to enter, but do you have those places where you are not allowed to enter without a special membership? Maybe you have to pay a fee to enter one of those stores, or you have to pay a huge amount to enter a club and participate in all that it has to offer. Have you ever sat down to think of what it takes to enter God's rest with Him? Certainly there are things you have to leave behind to gain this rest, but a lot of times we don't pay attention to this but only focus on the things that gratify us now. If we thought more about what we should pay attention to that would gain us entry, our lives might be more fulfilling here on this earth. Don't lose sight of that entry.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
