There is the physical world, and there is the spiritual world.

And in the Bible we are reading about physical rest and spiritual rest.

A. Physical Rest (body)

This motel is not very far from the Baptist Church in PAIHIA

The Bible commands physical rest. Let me just mention Mark 6:31, where the Lord Jesus Christ says to his disciples, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

 B. Spiritual Rest (soul)

True repose can only be found in God.

In Psalm 62:1 David says, “My soul finds rest in God alone.”

He says also that his salvation comes from God, that God alone is his rock, that God is his fortress.

In the same Psalm he says also, “Find rest, O my soul, in God alone.”

He continues to say that his hope comes from God, that God alone is his mighty rock and his salvation and his fortress. He says also that his honor depends on God and that God is his refuge.

Here is the summary:

1. His SALVATION comes from God.

2. God alone is his MIGHTY ROCK.

3. God is his FORTRESS.

4. His HOPE comes from God.

5. His HONOR depends on God.

6. God is his REFUGE.

I believe that those  who have found spiritual rest, have it easier to find physical rest.
