LABOR TO REST!

   
          

Laboring to enter rest— (Heb. 4:9, 10)
A contradiction in terms,
The natural mind cannot receive (1 Cor. 2:14)
That which the Word affirms.

Losing our lives to save them (Matt. 16:25)
Is another mind-bender;
Trying to 'figure it out'
Can only the Spirit hinder!

Dying in order to live, (2 Cor. 4:11, 12)
In the spiritual life a must—
Only His direct revelation
Allows us our Lord to trust.

When we're reduced to nothing,
He can be all things; 
As He becomes our life, (Col. 3:4)
All that's within us sings! (Ps. 71:22, 23)

-  C. R. Solomon 9-6-10
