The economy of rest. In the middle of all the devastating geopolitical conflict, with intra-Judah political conflict and Jeremiah’s own life often in danger, comes a rant about the people’s failure to hallow the Sabbath – like, just take a day off. It’s that damned economic pressure, and the lie that we cannot “afford” to rest. The flourishing God has in mind for God’s people will not come because they work incessantly; it will come when they have enough trust in God to actually lay down their burdens every once in a while.
