Our salvation is sure but do we want to be ushered into heaven yet so as by fire (1Co 3:15)? As His bride that cannot be an option for us. We cannot afford to stay locked up in our bedchamber while He knocks at our door, drawing us to come with Him into the harvest field. The days are growing short until that trumpet sounds and it is critical for us to ask the hard questions and respond to His answers. And those answers are only going to be found by boldly entering the Holiest Place and submitting our spirit, soul, and body to our bridegroom, allowing Him to fill these earthen vessels with His love, with Himself.
Solomon started out strong but lost his way, only to come to the end and realize what it all meant and what it means for the bride today as she waits and watches for her bridegroom… I am my beloveds and He is mine (SOS 6:3). And with that understanding firmly set in our heart, Jesus’ Rest comes down to these two verses that challenge you to Wake Up And Rest:
Eccl 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
