Verses 12-13 is a timeless call to Biblical literacy! And in verse 19 we are reminded that one of the most profitable ways to bring about Biblical literacy is through Scripture infused worship, songs that are build upon the timeless truth of our most sacred Writings. What began has hymns are still today found in what we would categorize as "contemporary," lyrics that instruct and through sining there is the recitation of truth, both to be learned but also as moments of confession, declaring that what we say in word will be reflected in the sentiments of our hearts!
Also, verse 16 is a reminder of the foundational presence rest should have in our lives. In Hebrews 4 we learn there are four: paternal rest, purpose rest, physical rest, and perpetual rest. The first is a restfulness that comes from having a passion filled, life defining, moment by moment governing relationship with God. Next, purpose rest is the peace that comes from walking in destiny, our unique God-given calling. Third, a weekly Sabbath! Last, the calm that we carry from knowing that Heaven is promised to us in Christ.
