9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
(Skip to v. 12, 13)
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
V. 11 Make every effort to rest… (this sounds like work LOL)
You want to rest, so you make every effort. You close the blinds, you turn off the lights, you turn on your sound machine, put on the fan, you get your favorite pillow and blanky, you drink some warm milk with some melatonin… that is making every effort to rest.
Application: I will chew on Gods word for every area of my life to find rest.
In the spiritual… God what area might I not be trusting you. Show me, I will confess it and then trust you and rest in you.
Heb. 4:12
V. 12 the word of God is active, alive, powerful double edge sword…
***What this means is that the word not activating in you and causing rest is not the words fault… its yours.
This word that you chew on… that you meditate on will bring great rest, great blessing, great insight,
“Active” in GK full of energy to produce a work.
Chew on it and suck the energy out of it… and you will have change.
WHY?
It will uncover areas of your life you have not yet yielded to the Father.
“JUDGES’ It has a critical eye that catches all the little details. A “judging skill”
V. 13 God sees all things… so if we are not entering his rest by accepting his word with faith… he can tell us. HE SEES IT!
The first 3 verses speak of the children of Israel who did not listen to the word of the Lord and did not enter his rest - into the promise land.
12 spies came back and gave an evil report -
Joshua and Caleb -
The report was accurate and truthful but it was evil… because they did not accept it in faith.
ONLY JOSHUA AND CALEB DID…
They would enter the land of rest by waring with their enemies… but God would give them the victory!
*in fact Caleb so believed the word he came back to Joshua and said give me my mountain 45 years later… at 85 years of age, he had Gods word resting in him… believed it, trusted it, rested in it…
