“Thy Word was found and I did eat it, and it became for me the Joy and Rejoicing of my heart..” Psalmist David
STRIVE to Enter His Rest… Hebrews 4:11
These 2 verses above represent the conundrum of my recent years ; the devotion of my time to the first, seemed to preclude my realization of the second! Aaah!
And now the Lord has asked me to “step back” from the longer teaching year I’ve chosen for 35 years (on & off) of teaching.
What a relief it was to find out that “strive” in Hebrew means "Wrestle!” At last, the secret meaning…we must wrestle to enter His rest! (Type A’s, rejoice!)
So sometimes, in laying aside the “Good” things, we may enjoy the “BEST” things!
What I’ve learned form so many years of teaching a certain way (& from so many mentors!) is that the discipline of study is ALWAYS rewarded with more secrets, and insights.
His Word is an inexhaustible Font of learning, wisdom, and knowledge (and beyond that, revelation!)
A favorite counselor of mine says: “you can’t out give God!” and so I’m recommending a strenuous personal regimen of WORD ~ morning, noon, and nite.
Paul said “woe to me if, after teaching others, I myself am unable to complete the race!” And that’s a great model.
I wish you a summer that is NOT a drought, but is rich with meaning, His Word, and prayer. (Jer. 17: “Blessed is the one who fears the Lord? They will be like a fruit-bearing tree in a year of drought..” )
I enclose the booklist to spur you on to “greater things!” And may the wrestling you do with Him over REST produce NEW disciplines of grace.
In Him,
Dr A
