RESTING

No man can quench his thirst with sand, or with water from the Dead Sea; so no man can find rest from his own character, however good, or from his own acts, however religious. ---- Horatius Bonar Scottish pastor-theologian (1808-1889.

 

None is righteous no, not one...all have turned aside, together they have become worthless...no one does good, not even one...the way of peace they have not known (Romans 3:10, 12b, 17b, 18)

 

A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle, to the glory of God: God, Be Merciful to Me (The Psalter, 1912).

Rest

True rest is not that of torpor, but that of harmony; it is not refusing the struggle, but conquering in it; not resting from duty, but  finding rest in it. F. W. Robertson

Come to me, all who labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-20).
