Matthew 11:28-30
28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Today we celebrate Labor Day.  This US federal holiday was begun in 1882 to creat a day off for the "working man."  Today, we celebrate this a day of rest and as a symbolic marker for the end of summer.  Typically, there are cook-outs and sales to be attended everywhere.  Whatever we choose to do today, even we must work, is to remember that true rest comes from the Lord.  God has given us rest for our journey and eternal rest.  Remember to Praise the Lord today as we revel in his rest.  Below are a few additional scriptures to direct you to God's rest.

Exodus 33:14 - The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

1 Kings 8:56 "Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses.

1 Chronicles 22:9 But you will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon, [a] and I will grant Israel peace and quiet during his reign.

Psalm 94:12-14
12 Blessed is the man you discipline, O LORD,
       the man you teach from your law;
13 you grant him relief from days of trouble,
       till a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not reject his people;
       he will never forsake his inheritance.

Hebrews 4:3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, "So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.' "

Hebrews 4:10-11
10for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. 11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.
