A glimpse into the workings of a Reformationist Christian who loves the Lord, his wife, children, birddog and flyfishing...

Rest and the Promise of More


No fishing this week by me but the walleye bite has been on at Monroe. 22” is small or at least that is what they are saying and I have seen pictures.

1 Chronicles 23:25 says, "The LORD God of Israel has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem forever.

We need to take hold of this now. We hurry in everything that we do. John Eldridge (from this point forward on this blog he will be referred to as JE) says in Waking the Dead “Why is it that nearly every good thing, from taking the annual family vacation to planning a wedding, to cultivating a relationship, takes so much work?”. It is because we are at war with Satan and his minion he will not quit until Christ returns. We as Christians need to rest in the Lord knowing that the war is won and live life abundant, just like Jesus said in John 10:10. TAKE HOLD OF THIS PROMISE! Do not let go, live life to the fullest and don’t faint, quit or turn away the end is near but eternal life started the moment you got saved. And that being the case we can live high above all of the dark clouds swirling about us.
