Hebrews 4:9-10 (NKJV) 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
Do we feel guilty sometimes when things are going well and life seems like it’s good for us?
Sometimes it might cause us to feel guilty, and we might almost feel like we may not be doing enough on our end.
As Christians, we have a tendency to feel like it’s not right when we are not working hard, or even if we take a rest because we’re exhausted from our work.
I’ve seen this in many churches over the years with people in leadership positions. They beat themselves up over it to the point where they lose the joy and purpose of what they’re doing.
So, this is just a little reminder that there will come days of reaping, and seasons of rest from our labors. That’s right; both, corporately as a church, and on a personal one-on-one level. Don’t fight it when your “season of rest” comes. It’s our time to receive!
We are all in different seasons on this journey together. Some are in the ground-plowing season. Some may be in planting season. Some are in watering season and, yes, some are in the reaping and resting season. Hallelujah!
Don’t feel guilty when it’s time to rest and don’t feel guilty when it’s time to reap from our labor.
The good Lord will remind us all that we reap from what we sow and the day will come when our reaping is here. Enjoy it and give thanks!
Galatians 6:7 (KJV) 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
God is GOOD!
