Shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
[Ruth.3:1]
There remaineth ... a rest to the people of God. ■ My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. ■ There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. ■ They ... rest from their labours.
[Heb.4:9 | Isa.32:18 | Job.3:17 | Rev.14:13]
The forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
[Heb.6:20]
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavv laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ■ In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.
[Matt.11:28-30 | Isa.30:15]
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
[Psa.23:1,2]
