The Gift of Rest
Anchor
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
— Exodus 20:8 (KJV)
What it means
God gave rest as a gift, not a burden. The Sabbath is an invitation to stop striving, to trust that the world will not fall apart if we pause. It is a weekly reminder that our worth is not measured by our productivity.
In your life
Your to-do list never ends. There is always more to do, more to achieve, more to worry about. But God built a rhythm into creation itself: work and rest, effort and trust. The Sabbath whispers: you are loved for who you are, not just what you produce.
