Part of the way God made us was to rest. God made day and night - and night was for rest. God made the week - and on the seventh day, God rested, and commands us to rest.

Rest is very important for all of us - both physically and spiritually. Rest allows us to pause, to recover from the day or week, and to reflect.

As followers of Jesus - we ultimately look forward to entering God's rest - where we can rest from the toil and heartache of this world, where we can rest in the presence of our loving heavenly Lord.
