Rest is true worship because it requires trust that there will still be time and energy left to accomplish what needs to get done. It asks that we believe God really has given us everything and will continue to do so. It means we have to realize that we can do nothing on our own. We rest to recharge but also to remember. It’s hard to remember who God is, what he’s done, and what we are really here for if we’re too overwhelmed by our own to-do list. We have to create space on purpose. Rest has to be intentional. And it’s very hard to do.
