1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,280
The Bible says, Six days shall thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,560
Sabbath of the Lord thy God.

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,480
In it, thou shalt not do any work.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:20,640
In other words, according to Scripture, we are to work six days and rest on the seventh.

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,280
Six days of work, one day of rest.

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:32,280
But do you realize that the Bible requires us to rest seven days a week?

7
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,280
How?

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,920
By total trust in God.

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:45,040
Jesus tells us in Matthew 11, 28, Come unto me, all ye that labor, and a heavy laden,

10
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,560
and I will give you rest.

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:54,240
This rest is intended to function or to be experienced seven days a week.

12
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,520
A person does not occasionally take a rest from trusting in God.

13
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,840
When we do that, we encounter anxiety and worry and uncertainty.

14
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:14,000
But we are to rest in God seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,360
In Hebrews 11, we have the account of all those mighty men and women who by faith did

16
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,120
one thing or the other.

17
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:29,360
Then in Hebrews 12, reading from verse 1, wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about,

18
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,560
with so great a cloud of witnesses.

19
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:39,120
Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us.

20
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,800
What is the sin that doth so easily beset us?

21
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:48,200
If you connect Hebrews 12 to Hebrews 11, because the Bible was not written in chapters and

22
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,080
verses, it becomes evident that the sin which so easily beset us

23
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,000
 is a lack of faith in God.

24
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,720
The very quality highlighted in 11 is referred to for those who do not trust God as the

25
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,720
sin which doth so easily beset us.

26
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:13,440
My listening friend, we have to learn, and we learn through Scripture, to trust God

27
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,520
absolutely.

28
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,560
But in trusting God, who are we trusting?

29
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,460
We are trusting first the Creator.

30
00:02:22,460 --> 00:02:29,140
Because He knows how to take care of and sustain that which He has created.

31
00:02:29,140 --> 00:02:33,820
And every converted person is a work of creation.

32
00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:35,820
Let me say that again.

33
00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:40,220
Every converted person is a work of creation.

34
00:02:40,220 --> 00:02:44,100
And the principle by which God functions is simply this.

35
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:47,060
That which He creates, He sustains.

36
00:02:47,060 --> 00:02:51,060
And He sustains 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

37
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:56,860
And we are called upon by the Bible to believe that God will sustain us.

38
00:02:56,860 --> 00:02:59,860
Take care of us and protect us.

39
00:02:59,860 --> 00:03:03,860
We are to rest seven days a week.

40
00:03:03,860 --> 00:03:10,260
Not from physical labor, but rest in the sense of total trust in God.

41
00:03:10,260 --> 00:03:12,260
Babies do not worry.

42
00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:14,260
Little children do not worry.

43
00:03:14,260 --> 00:03:19,660
Worry becomes a reality in our lives as we grow older and older.

44
00:03:19,660 --> 00:03:28,460
My friend, we are to be children with God, trusting God totally, completely without reservation.

45
00:03:28,460 --> 00:03:32,260
This is rest is seven days a week.

46
00:03:32,260 --> 00:03:39,060
But it is based on the fact that the Creator takes care of what He creates.

47
00:03:39,060 --> 00:03:43,660
And every converted person is a work of creation.

48
00:03:43,660 --> 00:03:52,860
As you keep the Sabbath holy, remember the cure to your worry, your anxiety is not necessarily medication.

49
00:03:52,860 --> 00:04:05,260
It is total trust in God based on the fact that He,the Creator of heaven and earth is able, willing to take care of that which He creates.

50
00:04:05,260 --> 00:04:07,260
That is you.

51
00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:13,860
May the Lord bless you super abundantly as you rest not only on the Sabbath, but every day of the week

52
00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:16,660
in God's ability, to care for you.

53
00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:38,060
Happy Sabbath and God bless you.
