Scripture: Genesis 2:2-3

Eugene Peterson once wrote, “busyness is the enemy of spirituality. It is essentially laziness. It is doing the easy thing instead of the hard thing. It is filling our time with our own actions instead of paying attention to God’s actions.” Throughout Scripture we find that rest is an essential action of God and an essential attribute of God’s people. Our challenge and our invitation is to be people who understand not just how to rest from work, but to work from a place of rest.
