Hebrews and rest

The message this week affirmed what I had been thinking about in Hebrews 4:12-"For the word of God is alive and powerful...." The writer speaks of rest and why we should and God commanded it and then without taking a breath he says "For the Word of God is alive and powerful"(can you hear me almost yelling) It is saying you can rest for the Word is workin and it keeps workin and it works harder than you, sees more than you, knows more than you, so REST. Let the Word do it's work. I confess that I pray and I read the Bible and I have faith but (there's always a but) I get busy and impatient and I want to "help" God. I shudder to think how many times I have stood in the way of my own victory because I would not sit down, be still and let the powerful Word of God work.
I asked others to post how they are taking a Sabbath rest this week. So I guess I better do that also. I have been allowed a lot of time alone this week as I am out of town for a couple of days. You would think that I would be quick to take advantage and enjoy some real rest. Thus far I have not. I convince myself that this is a good time to "catch up." Well, no more. I declare that when I am done with this post I am going to put on some worship music and sit in the quiet and be still.
I will be praying for all of you this week that you will find a place of rest.
