DAILY?READINGS: Deut. 26:16 to 27:26; Amos 1-2; Luke 13:22-35
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
The word rest means perfection or completeness. God rested on the seventh day after He had finished making the heavens and the earth. The born-again believer rests fully upon the finished work of Christ for the rest of their soul. —Edith MacLelland
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come upon me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast”;
I came to Jesus as I was, weary, and worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting place,
And He has made me glad. —Horatius Bonar
