REST...
Reminds me of a p from NCC, about entering His Rest... can relates to one of the verses in Matt 11:28-29 and Ps91:1-2..hmmm, what happen to my scripture memory? =P
Prayer for myself that i will continue to find rest in God, rather than seeking other types of rest...the last 3 days, have been good opporunity for me to rest...from my work...Find myself weary from work... but who cares that u are weary, they only care that Can u produce? hmmm, guess i'm also been drawn to meet other's expectations and forgot to focus at the right thing...
Rom 12:2 "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is ,his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Was reading the book of PDL a verse from my quiet time & BSF which have speak to me from Col 3:23-24"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the LORD, not for men. v24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
Guess that i too have to confess that at times, my attitude at work... etc is till lacking of been Christ-likeness... (philippians 2:3-8)v3"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. v4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others" v5 "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus....." a good example for me to follow...
Ruth sets a good example.... her diligence at work(from gleaning the fields)...providing for Naomi, her humility(eg: chp 2:10), her trust in God, looking not at her own interests but Naomi's, her loyality and obedience to Naomi n her husband... even when her's instructions seems strange for a logically sound person to follow... to marry a man that's much older than her so that the line of her ex-husband... think she never even complain when she's gleaning at Boaz's field from morning all the way when they finished work...Have to remind myself not to complain...to have a attitude of Ruth.
Was thinking of a email-conversation with someone just now, the best person to follow will be our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (if we(I) would humble ourselves, and open up our "locked door")- from a mini book which i have read years ago.
