Rest of God Is Yours
16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.

I read something recently called inversion thinking. It’s a principle of investment developed by the bosom friend and partner of one of the richest men in the world. Warren Buffet. His name is Charlie Munger.
The summary of inversion thinking is to look at what made an investment fail and go do the exact opposite.
Our prayer and fasting focus for the outgoing month is entering rest. Please go back and read the scriptures and pray them I urge you.
A short study of Hebrews 3 with a focus on the excerpt above (Vs 12-19) narrows down what made Israel not enter the rest promised by God.
There were two major things, disobedience, and unbelief. If we think deeply, this is the root of Sin.
This often happens when out of lack of the right information, fear of the unknown, self-indulgence, or lack of vision, one chooses to doubt the authority of the instructor and the authenticity of the instruction and does not act in line with the truth.
So using inversion thinking, if you want to enter the rest of God, obey and believe.
Now it looks simple but definitely not easy. However, you should know and realize that God’s instruction is a covenant, a promise that contains life to make it happen. When you choose to keep the focus on Him and stay in faith even when you feel otherwise, then surely we will enter the rest.
Friends, I encourage you today to seek to enter the rest of God. You do so by making obedience and faith a habit you cultivate daily.
Choose to see your inadequacies through the eyes of faith in God. Listen for His instruction. Submerge your overthinking human logic in God’s word. Then you will press in to and enter the rest indeed.
The rest of God is yours… press in and enter!
LET US PRAY:
Dear Father, I pray that you will strengthen me through His Spirit in my inner man to fully grasp the width, length, and height of His love for me. I ask to be filled with the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the Knowledge of Christ.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
