For a believer’s life to make God pleasing music, music that plays throughout eternity, one must learn to enter His appointed rest.

Paradoxically there is no music during the 5 rests (variable length of rhythmic silence) depicted above, but there is no making of music without a rest!
Beloved, in a sense, our entire life is (or should be) characterized by intermittent “rests”. At such times we may be led to think we have come to the end of the tune! However, God in His love and divine design writes the music of our lives which includes His rest.
It is for us to learn the tune, and at the same time to not ignore His times of rest. His rests are not to be omitted, for to do so would disturb the melody.
Let us remember that although there may seem to be no music in rest, there is no making of music without rest. -author unknown

The will of God is not a burden to carry, but a pillow to rest on! -Hannah W. Smith
