Rest
Ours is an age of anxiety and stress because ours is an age of speed. We take pride in explaining to each other about our busyness, but feel vaguely guilty if we relax. God did not intend for His people to live in a state of perpetual hurry. From His own example in Genesis to the promises of the New Testament, it is clear that God wants us to discover rest and refreshment for our body and soul.
On the seventh day , having finished His task, God rested from all His work...Genesis 2:1-3
If God saw rest from work as holy, how can we afford not to rest?
Promises from God
God offers rest to the weary. Matthew 11:28
Amen.
