Isaiah 2:17-22
“17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?”
Praise ye the Lord!!!

Malachi 3:13-18
“13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.”
Praise ye the Lord!!!

Working for Our Lord.
Exodus 34:21
“Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.”
This was a commandment to God's people concerning physical work.
But to His church, His Bride, we are commanded this:
1 Corinthians 15:58
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
Sure, we need our physical rest after a work filled day and/or week. But when it comes to spiritual matters we are not told to rest but to work. There is no mention of a day of spiritual rest for the Lord's churches in the New Testament. Not until we leave this life. Whether it is by physical death in this life or by rapture when the Bridegroom comes and calls His Bride. We are to be about out Master's business while we are here.
We must always be on our toes in this spiritual battle we fight in this life. Even when our bodies grow weak and need rest, the spiritual battles continue. And though we get weary and our faith may falter at times, our Lord is always with us to give us a bit of rest when needed and to strengthen us and prepare us for the next fight. No mention of surrender or retirement in God's Word for His people. Neither sickness nor old age should prevent us from our Lord's work. If we will just turn to Him and rely on our Lord and not ourselves.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
