The Rest

The Lord has promised that once we overcome our fallen nature and the original eviction within our soul, we will enter a good place — the Promised Land.

I have come to that good place.

Was it a long journey? Yes, it was.

Was it worth the journey? Yes, it was.

Entering the rest of God is the reward of years of overcoming.Here we see that the Lord is good — this is the good land.

The rest of God is the place where you seek no more.

“For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land… a land in which you will lack nothing… You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land He has given you.” Deuteronomy 8:7–10

As I entered this good place, the wilderness released its hold.The desert years loosened.

I felt the cells of my brain and body relax, and a place of rest emerged.

The Lord says we will enter His rest. This is the doorway to glorification.

 I lie beneath the stars at night and I say, crown me with your glory.

“You have made them a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned them with glory and honour.”

Psalm 8:5
