When I was praying about what to write for this article, I felt God say “Write about rest!” I thought to myself, “I can’t do that. That’s what Autumn wrote about last week!”, then I wondered whether this is something that God really wants to speak to us about! So, here goes…

Rest is very important to God! In fact, it is so important that the eighth commandment God gave Moses was to rest on the Sabbath. There are over 70 verses in the Bible about rest!

I am so challenged by this as I am a busy, ‘doing’ person. I find it difficult to stop and rest and often will find something to do when I should be resting. This also impacts my times with God as He desires us to rest in Him as well as rest our physical bodies. A word was given over the weekend about the importance of rest and I have been thinking about it ever since.
