A recent testimony meeting included Hebrews 4: 12 which assures us of the powerful and incisive power of spiritual truth to cut to the heart of a matter. I love that the previous verses spoke to us of "rest", which might make us think about peace, relaxation, cessation of worry or complaint, or perhaps serenity and quiet. Sounds like bliss doesn't it? Well we are advised to "labour ...to enter into that rest" (verse 11). Does that remind us of the commandment that assures us that while six-sevenths of our effort goes into labour, we must remember to rest at the end, to take time to pause, remembering that God's work is already complete and perfect.
