Wresting, or Resting?

Based on Ezekiel 40-41, 2 Peter 3

These 2 chapters of Ezekiel reference the measurements of the temple buildings and inner courts of the Holy City. Every detail was considered, and nothing was left out (or left up to human decision). This vision of all the exact measurements was a God thing! How do we measure up in God's Kingdom? Are we wresting, meaning pulling, yanking or prodding at the world to try to make something of ourselves, being our own creator? Or are we resting, meaning resting in The Lord & allowing Him to make the best of us?

"as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." 2 Peter 3:16

Those who choose not to study the Scriptures are unstable, only standing upon the temporary false foundations of the world. They wrest (wrestle) with themselves, other people, other things, and even God...continuing on a path of resistance instead of rest! We can rest on Scripture! Scripture is stable! And we can then measure up to God's Perfect Will for our lives! We just have to stop fighting it sometimes!

"Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness."

2 Peter 3:17

We know God is there. We have studied many Scriptures together this past year! It is now time to reflect on where God wants us to go from here...the experiences He wants to have with us at church...a life of repentance, getting baptized in Jesus' Name & seeking to receive The Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in new tongues is the best place to start & kick off 2022! Who's ready to measure up to a higher calling!? Excited for what God's going to do!
