Give no offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles

 1 Corinthians 10:32-33
Give no offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved


Saints,
At times in life I or many of us would entertain such burdensome items that when I/we really look at the overall picture, wasn't in my/our jurisdiction.  Not that it wasn't important, but it was only puffed up knowledge that didn't amount much. 

  • What does amount to much is living by faith.  
  • What does amount to much is by faith laying down our burdens to the LORD and not taking them back (1 Peter 5:6-7, Philippians 4:6).
  • What does amount to much is because we're justified by faith, we have peace with God (Romans 5:1). - Hallelujah! 

So, just as Joshua and Caleb moved mountains and spoke faith in God's ability, spoke faith in God's many testimonials.  We too speak faith. Having the precious restful sleep of resting and not being bombarded with the enemy of our minds (read Isaiah 50:10-11, Romans 8:7).  O have sweet sleep in God's greatest ability of finishing what He began (1 Corinthians 1:9, Philippians 1:6).  Understand what disappointed God was folks didn't rest in His ability (read Psalms and Hebrews chapters 3 and 4).  And because they didn't rest, they certainly didn't enter into His rest.  So please rest!  Take time and smell the flowers, smell the richness of coffee or dark chocolate.  By faith (Hebrews 11:1), take time to let go and let God work on your behalf.

Proverbs 3:24
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. 

Hebrews 4:1
Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful...
