<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt seems like the standard solution for overdoing is overdoing a little more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n God designed you to need a Sabbath <\/strong>– to benefit from taking one – and He gives you the Lord’s day, His day, to meet that need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a tension regarding this rest.<\/strong> God introduces<\/strong> us to rest at creation. God models <\/strong>rest. He gives us a rhythm<\/strong> by which we can walk and find rest. God mandates rest <\/strong>because it is vital to our physical, mental and spiritual health. But we resist rest<\/strong>. Rest comes when we walk in God’s established rhythm of life. Rest disappears when we march to the beat of a different drummer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The kind of rest God provides is a rest that says, “It is finished.”<\/strong> In creation on days 1-6 God said “it is good” and day 7 God said “it is done”. The kind of rest God provides is a rest that comes with faith. <\/strong> It doesn’t just come “by faith” it comes with the faith that saved you – so, hold onto that faith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hold to the One who holds onto you. Be intentional about trusting God. Listen for God to speak to you. Receive the rest that sends you out rested. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Then Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath.” Mark 2:27 (NLT)<\/strong><\/p>\n
