Rest

Resting requires you to cast down all unnecessary thoughts that come to your mind. 
Resting requires you to be still. 
Resting is what we are supposed to do according to Hebrews 4.
Have you spent any time resting today?
Five minutes seems like a long time to be doing nothing, but God is okay with that! 
300 seconds of rest, see if you can do it! 
Rest knowing that the Father, your creator, is satisfied in you.

God

The Lord our God is a plural unity.
God the Father, HE Loves YOU!
God the Word, HE Loves YOU!
God the Spirit, HE Loves YOU!
This is necessary to truly believe.  The Father LOVES YOU!

5 Privileges

1. Love God and Love Others - Mark 12:29-31
"The Lord our God is one Lord, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength and you shall love your neighbor as yourself!"

2. All For God's Glory - 1 Corinthians 10:31
"Whether then you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

3. Obey Authority - 1 Peter 2:13-14
"Submit yourself unto every human authority, for the Lord's sake. They are sent by Him for the punishment of evil doers, and for the praise of those who do well."

4. Tame Your Tongue - James 3:2
"In many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same if a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body."

5. Control Your Body - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
"What, do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."
