Our purpose is to glorify God! God promised to use every detail of our life— both good and bad— for his glory and our ultimate good. Every promise is “Yes and Amen!” through Jesus Christ.

Second Corinthians says we are part of God’s story. God uses every detail of our lives— painful and pleasant, planned and unplanned— for his glory and our ultimate good. We are ambassadors of that glory— we carry the light of Jesus as an offering to God and a testimony to the world. Our pain, our success, our marriage, our singleness, our career, our finances, our parenting, our legacy… all on purpose for God.

How can our work and rest serve the mission of God? By proclaiming God’s excellence through our work, jobs transform into assignments from God. 

From Genesis to Revelation, the theology of Sabbath rest unfolds to reveal an incredible truth. When we come to know Jesus, we enter into true rest. 

Work harder! Rest more! There is a kind of weariness that goes beyond mere physical tiredness. What is at the heart of this constant restlessness? By seeking Christ and his kingdom, we can find rest for our souls. 

From the beginning, God designed our work and rest as a meaningful way to reflect his glory and goodness. 

God describes Himself as “faithful to 1000 generations.” God has been faith, is faithful, and will be faithful. What role do we play in communicating the faithfulness of God to the next generation? 

God describes Himself as “abounding in steadfast love.” God will sweep us off our feet with His love. He has loved us, not because of who we are, but because of who He is. 

God describes Himself as “slow to anger.” Is it wrong for a father to show anger? Could it be that we’ve misunderstood God because we’ve misunderstood anger? 

God describes Himself as gracious. We are surprised by grace! Through Jesus He has given us grace and shown us how to live graciously. God’s grace is on offer today!
