One Word: Disobedience!
“Come unto Me you who are weary and heavily laden, and I will give you rest.
Come and learn of Me for I am meek and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light…..”1
“There is now, therefore, a rest for the people of God…..”2
“Rest in The LORD and wait patiently for Him and He will give to you the desires of your heart…..”3
“Trust in The LORD with all of your heart and lean not upon your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in everything you do and He will direct your path…..”4
“They could not enter His rest — because of their disobedience…..”5
Just one word, “disobedience“, changes the whole course of life when it come to entering the rest that The LORD has for you.
If The LORD has been calling you and drawing you into His Presence, and you avoid entering in, it’s really no wonder why you have no peace.
1Matthew 11:28-30, 2Hebrews 4:9, 3Psalm 37:7, 4Proverbs 3:5-6, 5Hebrews 3:19.
