Matthew 11: 28-30"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. "For My yoke is easy, and My load is light."
Everyone needs rest. Even God rested. It's why we have a sabbath. Because I work for the church, I can't take sabbath on Sunday. Unfortunately, I often forget about Sabbath all together. I have so little time off, it is easy to just run errands: go to the gym, the grocery store, target, etc and forget about rest. about prayer. about Sabbath.
BUT, today even though it was tempting to work or just go to target, I took Sabbath. Or a version, my version. I sat in an awesome coffee shop, sipped coffee, ate sweet crepes and read almost half of Lauren Winner's new book. (Which is FANTASTIC by the way!)
Today, I am thankful for Sabbath. For having a God who want's us to take Sabbath and rest in him.
