“Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest” (Hebrews 4:11a)
Peace to you.
I hope you had a blessed Monday.
Mondays are Sabbath for our family. Today we took a little trip to Shin Falls. What a gift! The scenery was breathtaking, and the swimming hole was perfect for cooling off. We laughed, splashed, and just enjoyed being together.
Sabbath is more than simply taking a break after a week’s work. Think about Adam! He was created on the sixth day, and his very first full day was the seventh. His first day wasn’t work—it was resting with God. Then he worked. Our whole life, in a sense, is a journey toward that full and final rest with Him.
I don’t know about you, but I often feel preoccupied and distracted, pulled in different directions. While studying Acts 6 last week, I was reminded that the apostles and early Christians were “unbusy” Christians. They focused on what mattered most. I shared more about that in Sunday’s message: Tree in the Rock – Acts 6:1–7. You can also watch here: Mars Hill | Houlton.
As you start the week, I pray you find rest, not just in your schedule, but in your soul. May the joy of the Lord be your strength today.
With love in Christ,
Pastor Victor
