In this season of hurry ups and making new years resolutions. Let’s take a moment to reflect upon the God, who slowed down to dwell with us. Who is our rest.
Rest or Sabbath is not about setting aside a day but an atmosphere that allows it to reside within us. Dorothy Bass in Practicing our Faith relates keeping the Sabbath as “a confirmation that we are not without help in shaping the renewing ways of life for which we long.” The Sabbath is a longing and yet also a choice of trusting that we are not alone in the world we are called too.
Rest is renewal.
Rest is community.
Rest is trust.
What are we being renewed by today, tomorrow, and every day?
Stay tuned for more about Rest in the coming weeks.
