Judging by appearances, it's easy to conclude that God is either inactive or absent in our world. That's no surprise considering he removed his visible presence from our world long ago. Thankfully, we don't have to trust our eyes to know where God is and what he is up to in our world. God is still at work, especially when it looks like he isn't. This week we see how God’s work gives us rest. In fact, it requires us to rest. God commanded his ancient people to observe a Sabbath day—a day of rest. Rather than this command being one more thing to add to their to do list, the Sabbath law set them free from the burden of working for God’s favor. It forced them to find satisfaction in the work God had done for them—and would do for all people in Christ.
