“There remains therefore a rest to the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according the same example of disobedience.” (Hebrews 4:9-11)

The Book of Hebrews compares the rest of God with the children of Israel taking possession of the Promised Land. That land was to be a land flowing with milk and honey, where their every need would be met, a place of rest all around from their enemies, and all they had to do was go in and possess it. But unbelief and disobedience to God's Word, like spending too much time meditating on the soap operas of life, keep them as The Young and the Restless. We believers have been given the same opportunity to
enter a Promised Land of rest, abundance and peace. A land where we can rest from our trials and tribulations and enjoy the abundance, glory and victory of God. But to get pass security we must do what the children of Israel failed to do, we must stop complaining, learn to trust God and obey His Word.

We can only come to that place of trust and obedience by getting to KNOW God, by spending time with Him in prayer and meditation on the Word. That is the skilled labor, assisted by the divine wisdom of the Holy Spirit, that will bring us into the rest of God. We must diligently labor to know God instead of just knowing about God. When we do that, God will begin to reveal Himself to us and give us sneak previews of His kindness, His nature, His heart, His power, His wrath and His love. As God reveals how much He wants to do for us, it'll transform all of our strivings into peace, misgivings into trust, fear into faith, and enable us to enter into His divine and peaceful rest, with nothing missing, nothing broken. Forget about Spy Kids for they can only get us into The Island of Lost Dreams. Get to know God your heavenly Father and make it a labor of love for He
has a wonderful Promised Land full of blessings waiting for you, to take you into the land of The Young and The Rested.
