Resting without slacking
Whether after a long day at work or after months of battling a major challenge, it’s good to take time to rest. God even made rest a commandment! But be careful, resting doesn’t mean letting yourself go.
It’s not a failure, it’s a pause.
Our project was progressing very well, but lately, it seems that our efforts are no longer bearing fruit. We can try to find the reason, but perhaps it’s just a forced rest, a healthy little break.
Enter into God's rest
We are solicited from all sides, so much so that we can forget to rest. Not only to rest our body but also our soul and our spirit. Yet God promises us that His rest is our strength.
