JESUS INVITES US IN TO EXPERIENCE HIS REST IN THE MIDST OF WORK

Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)

“In a culture where busyness is a fetish and stillness is laziness, rest is sloth. But without rest, we miss the rest of God: the rest he invites us to enter more fully so that we might know him more deeply. “Be still, and know that I am God.” Some knowing is never pursued, only received. And for that, you need to be still.”

WORK ISN’T AN ENEMY
