Are you feeling drained and feeling burdened? Do you feel like you are running on fumes? Is Sunday your day to get through all the to-do’s and shopping lists that you find you don’t have time to rest that day? What is a sabbath day? Is that only on the day you go to church?
Today we’re going to discover why rest is so important and why God commanded us to have a Sabbath rest and what that actually means.
God designed us for rest, not nonstop work. Daily sleep and weekly Sabbath rests are blessings that bring physical refreshment, healing, mental clarity, stress management, and spiritual renewal. Scripture shows that rest helps us hear God more clearly and restores our strength. Protecting sleep through healthy routines, eating well, and wise time management—and honoring a weekly Sabbath—allows God to work while we pause. Rest is worship, a gift, and preparation for life’s battles, alongside practices like strength training, Mediterranean diet recipes, and balanced living.
Scripture referenced:
Ps.127:2; 1 Kings 19:2-9; Col. 2:16; Mark 2:27; Isaiah 56:2,6; Isaiah 59:21; Isaiah 58:13-14
