August has been a month of sabbatical rest for Andy & I. Our first. It’s the smallest church we’ve served—but they have big hearts and broad minds. We love them!
I can’t wait to share about our sabbatical. But I first wanted to write about rest. It’s so elusive! We decided to spend our last week of sabbatical at home. You know why? It’s where we rest the best.
Hebrews 4 talks about rest. It says God entered His rest on the 7th day—after working/creating for 6 days. We have the promise of rest—which is ahead of us. So…while we’re still here, we have work to do. Maybe that’s why it’s so elusive even though we should live with our souls in a continual state of rest—and get alone often, like Jesus did.
We have work to do. Let’s be busy sharing the good news of Jesus Christ! Let’s work hard (with our souls at rest) knowing our rest is ahead of us.
Time is short.
