Sabbath Rest

Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30, RecVer)

This week, I enjoyed the Lord’s uptodate speaking on resting upon Him by enjoying Him as the reality of the Sabbath. God rested on the seventh day because He created man and accomplished His heart's desire. His resting had to do with having His expression and representation on the earth through the created man. Later, this seventh day was commemorated as the Sabbath Day. 

The Sabbath Day is not a religious observance to be ritualistically followed nor is it the sanctify of a day. The Sabbath Day is the day of resting in the Lord with a prefect peace and complete satisfaction. This day was ordained by the Lord for us to remember to enjoy and rest in Him all the days of our lives on this earth.

What I enjoyed most about this truth is, to enjoy the resting in the Lord, one must come to Him first. Christians have been toiling and laboring so much. If not outwardly, at least inwardly. Too many struggles and too many toiling in vain. The reason for this is obvious; they are not doing the will of the Lord. In their ignorance of God’s will, they try many things blindly and ended up nowhere, only toiling without definite and satisfactory result that pleases God. 

The lesson to learn here is, come to the Lord, take the Lord’s yoke by doing the will of God, and learning from the Lord. The Lord Jesus,  while on the earth, did everything according to the Father. In like manner, we must learn from the Lord and do everything according to the will of the Father. When this condition is fulfilled, there will be perfect peace and complete satisfaction. Then, there will be the reality of the Sabbath Day.

In fact, the will of the Father is easy. For where God leads, He makes the way. His grace is sufficient where His will leads His children. In doing God’s will, everything is at ease and at peace. Inwardly and outwardly, there is complete satisfaction. There is complete rest and peace. 

I enjoyed this truth so much as it was proven by my personal experiences of the Lord. I shared it last Wednesday to a group of seeking ones from Madhya Pradesh online, and today I also I prophesied on the Sabbath rest. It turned out that many saints also enjoyed the same matter and many prophesied on the same point of truth.

Lord, draw me to come to You daily, to take up Your yoke by doing Your perfect will, to rest in You as my Sabbath, and to enjoy Your perfect peace and complete satisfaction!
