There are 3p’s enemies of the Sabbath rest:

Presumption:
The notion that we understand exactly what we need and how to get it or the precise nature of our problem and how to solve it

We at times turn to work, food, alcohol, sex, or worse to ease emotional pain

We feed our hunger for significance by chasing relationships, pursuing positions of power or fame, or exhausting all our resources in support of some noble cause

We create and nurture the illusion of security by filling bank account, fretting over every new medical report

Panic:
Tendency to react to needs or difficulties impulsively

Very often we leap into action and apply a familiar fix without considering unseen issues or lasting consequences

Pride:
The feeling of self-sufficiency or adequacy to fulfill one’s own need or to solve one’s own problem without God’s assistance

We feel the least need for God when we have full bank accounts, perfect health, strong relationships, impressive abilities, and a bright future

These three enemies of God’s rest share a common cause: unbelief!

When we see God as He is – omnipotent, unfailingly good, and interested in us; we will not hesitate to take every matter to Him, no matter how trifling by the power of Holy Spirit in us

And the degree to which we have entered God’s rest can be measured by the shrinking size of the issues we release into His capable hands

Strivers have a small god. Does this describe you?

There is a better way! And the entrance to it remains open (at least for now)

“There remains a Sabbath rest” for you to enjoy

Best to rest in Jesus Christ, why strive? If Holy Spirit bids you, accept Jesus Christ. Enter His rest. @TopeOJ; @Sbo1001 or send SMS/WhatsApp: [phone]. Shalom!
