The Rest of God (The seventh Day)

The Rest of the Lord

Toil vs. Rest

Psalm 127:2 ESV

It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.

Luke 5:4–11 (ESV)

4And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

5And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”

6And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.

7They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”

9For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken,

10and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”

11And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

Genesis 49:10 (ESV)

10The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.
