Let us, then, make every effort to
enter that rest, so that no one will fall
Into the same pattern of disobedience.
Hebrews 4:11 CSB
We live in a time where life is constantly on the go. It doesn't matter what season of life we are in, we are busy. Sometimes I look at my life now as a mostly empty nester and wonder how I accomplished all I have to do with four small kids.
With meals to cook, laundry to wash and dry and put away, dishes to do, floors to sweep, lawns to mow, kids to care for, school activities, sports practices and games, church attendance, church ministries, work, deadlines to meet, phone calls to make, and more, our day to day responsibilities have our head spinning. No wonder we live in a world full of exhausted, overwhelmed, and anxious people!
We prioritize so much of our life, except rest.
Rest is important -it's important to our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. God didn't intend for us to constantly be on the go, He knew rest was vital to us. It even tells us in Genesis 2:2 that after "God had completed His work that He had done," He rested. God didn't rest because He was tired and wore out. He rested to show us the importance of rest.
