Hebrew. 4:9,16 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God…Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
God is not blind to our needs. His word reveals the very motives of our heart and the desires to enter into His rest. Rest from the struggles of the flesh, rest from the condemnation and guilt of sin. We can come without fear into the presences of God, knowing that Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father. He who has experience the struggle of life on earth and know our weakness, makes our petitions in our behalf to the Father. We can lay all our cares and burdens at the throne of God, and rest in His grace. Our works to please God must go beyond the works of righteousness. God is pleased with our good deeds, but it is not the works of the flesh that give us rest. It is faith in His mercy and grace given to us through Christ that we can enter into His rest. Let us not stop short of this promise. Let us cast away our fears and trust of God who knows all things and desires to help us in time of need.
