Rest and Receive the Finished Work -- and Behold God's Glory

"And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

The first mention of "Finished" is in Genesis:

"Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them." (Genesis 2: 1)

God finished His work and He rested because the work was perfect, lacking nothing.

When Moses finished the Tabernacle, God visited and sanctified it with His presence:

"Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle." (Exodus 40: 33-34)

When Naomi counseled her daughter-in-law to rest, she indicated that Boaz, a picture of our Lord Jesus, would finished everything for her:

"Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day. " (Ruth 3: 18)

God the Father wants us to rest in Him, for the rest that God gave to His people Israel is extended also to every believer in the Body of Christ. (Hebrews 4: 1-11)

God wants us to rest in Christ, by whose faith we live the life that He lives in us!

Seek His rule in your life, the righteousness that He gives to us as a gift (Matthew 6: 33; Romans 5: 17), and His glory and goodness will envelop and provide for every need (Philippians 4: 19)
