God is Rest


Listen Later

Are we constantly exhausted because we've confused rest with a reward we earn, rather than a command given for our own good? Instead of just trying to "turn off" our work, we find true rest by intentionally "plugging in" to God, which helps us surrender our need for control and find the freedom to walk at an unhurried pace, even when our schedule is full.

References:  Quotes from John Mark Comer, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
  • "Hurry is not just a disordered schedule, hurry is a disordered heart."
  • "The solution to an overbusy life is not more time. It’s to slow down and simplify our lives around what really matters."
  • "Hurry and love are incompatible."
  • "Sabbath is coming for you. Whether as delight, or as discipline. Maybe that's why God eventually has to command the Sabbath... to rebel against the limitations of time itself."
