Rest as a weapon...

In our family we value rest. We choose to Sabbath from 5pm (ish) on Saturday evening through Sunday. We're not perfect by any means and we've always tried to have some representation of Sabbath in our week, but for about a year we have made this a more strictly kept rhythm for our family and it has been the biggest blessing. So when I don't respond or show up for the world during this time, just know I'm choosing to honor the fact that God can hold the world together without my help. He wants our co-creation and relationship of working together for His glory, but he desires our full trust and faith to rest in His rhythm and plan. He doesn't NEED us, He DESIRES us. Which is why He calls us. He gave us the map, we just follow as best we can because in the end it's going to all come together just how He desired. And that gives my soul such rest and peace.


Have you tried a rhythm of Sabbath for your week? I would love to hear how you use rest in your rhythms of life!
