Our Need For Sabbath Rest

With the holidays quickly approaching, we remember that the most wonderful time of the year is accompanied with some of the busiest times of the year. With the quick succession of events, the busyness of our day-to-day, and the overwhelming number of obligations that can pile up on our plates, the necessity of sabbath rest comes into frame. It can feel difficult to carve out time to rest amidst this season, but when we choose to spend time with Him, whether out in nature or at our desk, we can find rest that is truly restorative, life-giving, and reminiscent of who we are in the Father. Keeping the sabbath gives us the opportunity to connect with God, find the rest that sustains His people, and trust the God of peace with our lives.
