God said, “My presence will go with you. I’ll see the journey to the end.”
HEBREWS 4:9-10 (MSG)
The promise of “arrival” and “rest” is still there for God’s people. God himself is at rest. And at the end of the journey we’ll surely rest with God.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
When we journey with God the destination is guaranteed.
DAILY FODDER
What do you think resting with God looks like? How do you experience it even now?
PRAYER
Loving God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—you don't abandon us to journey on our own. I confess that at times I try to move forward without you. Forgive me for my hyper-independence. Show me how to walk with you as a partner in your divine triune community. I am savoring your presence and looking forward to living with you all in your eternal rest. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
