Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Hebrews 4:1 (TPT)

Now God has offered to us the same promise of entering into His realm of resting in confident faith (as He did Israel). So, we must be extremely careful to ensure that we all embrace the fullness of that promise and not fail to experience it.

When the Holy Spirit refers to ‘faith rest’ in Hebrews 4, He is not referring to our activity or our productivity level, He is referring to resting in our faith, and trusting in Him, instead of stressing, worrying and striving.

Hebrews 4:10-11 says, “As we enter into God’s faith-rest life we cease from our own works, just as God celebrates His finished works and rests in them. So then we must give our all and be eager to experience this faith-rest life…”

The Lord wants us to cease from our own works (trying to figure things out on our own, trying to fix things, and trying to rescue things). Know that the Lord will make a way, know that He will provide, and know that He will do what He has promised.

Resting in the Lord is the highest level of faith. I have been in the middle of doing a real estate deal, and was sitting back watching the lender stress about details and deadlines, and she could not believe how un-stressed I was. We have been called to rest in the Lord no matter what we are doing, or what is going on around us. We live in that rest because we are in Him and He is our rest.

Rest in Him today.

In His amazing love,

Esther
