is an instant virtuoso, that success is the product of long, disci plined, consistent effort. Once this is understood, they will de vote themselves to building a vigorous and deep faith which will provide the power to grasp and experience the mighty promises of God. God is waiting with inexpressible desire for the formation of a people upon whom He can fully rely to build His kingdom His way. A movement of workers is needed who absolutely refuses to build in any other way than according to the plans of the Mas ter-Architects. With a confidence based on past experience they will ask: What is God’s plan and solution to this problem? What is He directing me to do? Without worrying about the consequen ces of strict obedience to the Sabbath-rest principles, they must cling to the promises of divine help at the critical time. Not before He finally has such an army will God be able “fin ish the work, and cut it short in righteousness”. The work which might have ended centuries ago, will then be speedily finished “… because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.” Romans 9:28. For too long, people have assumed the position of plan mak ers, problem solvers and burden bearers in God’s place. Surely now, after almost six thousand years of frustration and failure, we should be convinced that it is time Jehovah had a team of workers possessed by living faith in His promises. He needs a people whom He can trust never to bring out their own drawing boards, but instead to rest in His perfect wisdom forever and let Him provide the plan of how to finish His work!

“Asabbath rest still remains for the people of God.... Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest is still open, let us take care that none of you should seem to have failed to reach it.” Hebrews 4:9.1. NRSV. “A sabbath rest still remains for the people of God.... Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest is still open, let us take care that none of you should seem to have failed to reach it.” Hebrews 4:9.1. NRSV.
