Chuck Smith addresses the people of God who, despite their chosen status and blessings, live in ungodliness and contempt for God's word. He emphasizes that true rest can only be found in Christ, contrasting the false comforts of morality, religious observance, and past experiences, which ultimately provide no real solace. The sermon warns against the futility of relying on inadequate 'beds' for rest, such as moral standards or past spiritual experiences, which are too short and narrow to provide true comfort. Smith calls for a recognition of the need for a genuine relationship with God, as only He can provide the rest that the soul longs for.
