Life can seem like a juggling act. With so many things to manage, we focus on the task at hand until it’s time to quickly shift to the next thing coming at us. Where do we find time for rest? Not just sleep, but rest.
Even if our schedule isn’t that busy, all the crazy things happening in the world today can leave us hungry for rest — like our souls need a vacation.
Good news: God knows all about our need for rest. In fact, He even directs us to take it. It’s called the Sabbath, or Shabbat in Hebrew.
If observing a weekly Sabbath seems like a strict, legalistic thing to you, consider taking another look to see it for the soul-refreshing invitation it’s meant for. For the next few weeks, we’ll share stories and encouragements about the Sabbath to help you find the rest that the Lord has in store for you.
