A Restful Theology...

God finished His work in creation and rested, telling us to recognize His finished work by resting with Him.

Jesus finished His work FOR creation - redeeming us from our striving in performance, and prescribed we rest as recognition of His finished work on the cross.

When we strive to be more, to have more, to do more, we are denying His sufficiency and rejecting His finished work on our behalf. But when we choose to trust His work in and through us we begin to enter His rest and experience His sufficiency, becoming available for His revelation of His finished work for others.

Today, serve Him by trusting His work in and through and for you. Strive to enter His rest. Depend on His sufficient grace not your ability to produce for Him or obligate a reaction from Him. Then the Life of Christ as your Source will overflow from you to fill those around you ready to receive from the Spring of Living Water instead of digging broken wells for themselves.

Enter into His rest by faith to the praise of His glorious grace.
