REST
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Genesis 2:2-3
REST
Take a moment.
Feel the pause
between the too-fast pacing
and slow.
Hear the things
learned only in still.
There’s a kind of language
reserved
for the quiet spaces
and a restoration
lavished
on the souls
brave enough to
listen.
The world whirls a
thousand times
and we can whirl
our whole lives
without even knowing
we had a choice.
The Sabbath invitation
feels radical.
An opportunity to trade
productivity for
quiet communion.
As a parent cradles a
sleeping child,
Sabbath begs us
rest within the gentle hold
of our Heavenly Father.
Let all creation
learn to breathe
this new rhythm
of rest,
and find soul
restoration in this
rhythm that echoes
eternity.
