As 2019 and the 2nd decade of this millennium are coming to a close, this often stirs up two types of feelings:

Pride and celebration as you crush your goals and live up to your expectations of where you would be at x age, in x year, making $x amount, loving life to x extent,

Or disappointment, sadness, self-condemnation, or even frustration with God that your expectations and hopes haven’t been met.

Every person, no matter what side of the equation you sit on, needs to orient themselves to the truth that we are called to rest and REMEMBER God, not just do/work/win/be productive.

We are called to remember God’s character; His goodness, His mercy, His provision, and so much more.

We are called to remember our need for God and the fact that we have no lasting hope without Him. We cannot earn our own salvation or create a lasting sense of self-worth by what we do or don’t do.

We are called to Sabbath, observing rest, renewal, and remembrance with God and our true purpose (to know and glorify Him, not ourselves) before we work. There is a reason why the creation story in Genesis pictures the beginning of each day starting in the evening, with rest, instead of in the morning with work until we earn our rest and time in stillness with God.
