Created for Rest
Resting. It’s not something our generation is particularly good at, nor is it a high priority for us. We are overstimulated, overworked, and overly focused on the wrong things. But the practice of resting is important to God, so it should be important to us too. From the very beginning, God established a rhythm of work and rest, culminating in the Sabbath—a gift meant to rejuvenate our spirits.
