Rest Is Restoration
Mark 2:27
These days in our society, rest is often undervalued. We feel we cannot rest because we will fall behind or let others down. We feel guilty after we do rest. Many employers expect us to work more. Even within the Church, some congregation members feel they cannot rest because they are so busy with church work.
Mark 2:27 ESV
[27] And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
God did not need to rest, but God did after He created the world. He took the time to reflect and enjoy His creation.
Our world always wants a little more. We, too , want a little more. A little more will help us. However, when we rest, we show our faith in God. It is enough. We can take time to enjoy what we have and know God will take care of us.
As we go on our Fall Picnic, we can reflect on God's creation and consideration. We can show how much we trust in God and trust that He will care for us.
