Follow God's Rhythm

In a world that prioritizes profits and production, the 4th commandment runs counter to culture. A day off when everyone else works? But if we follow God’s rhythm, we will have all the time we need because He can do more with six days than we can with seven. Observing the Sabbath is an act of faith! It exists as the bridge between loving God and loving people. And yet, we discover that even though the Sabbath is GOOD, it isn't enough. We still need the One who would in whom the "shadow" or "type" reveals.

TALK ABOUT IT - Questions to GROW through with family, friends, & myself.

1. What is my definition of rest? How does my definition align with God’s purposes for the Sabbath?

2. Have I experienced the consequence of either not working hard enough or working too hard? By whose definitions?

3. What cultural and/or societal pressures make it difficult to prioritize rest & worship? How can I overcome these?

4. What practical steps can I take to incorporate Sabbath rhythms in my life so I can learn to be sustained by God?

5. PRAYER: “Father, help me to rest in Chris and to trust You to provide for me!”
