RestWe are made to rest. God rested. And He created us in His image. The habit of resting is one of the ways in which we consistently tell our soul that we are not God. We have limitations. We have boundaries. Here are some ideas for incorporating the habit of rest on a daily, weekly, and annual basis.Daily RestThis is both the simplest and the most challenging habit to build—because it’s daily. The goal is to carve out a small, intentional moment each day to truly rest. Ideally, this would be a technology-free time where you can simply be present and embrace silence. It doesn’t have to be a long stretch; even 15 minutes of consistent silence can profoundly refresh and renew your soul.Weekly RestThis is what you might call a “sabbath day”—a dedicated time to pause and remember that your worth isn’t tied to what you do, but to who you are. It’s a full day, a 24-hour period, where you can simply exist without the pressure to produce or achieve.What a sabbath is not: Just a day off, hibernation, catching up on chores, or binging Netflix.What a sabbath is: A pause to rest, worship, and enjoy life intentionally.Ideas for a sabbath:Drink good coffeePlay games with familyGo for a walkRead Watch a movieCook a great mealSpend time with friendsPlay a sportAnnual RestThis can take many forms, but the goal is to set aside an extended period of time once a year—ideally a few days—for an extended sabbath. Use this time to rest deeply, whether at home or in a serene getaway like a cabin or beach house. As you engage in this practice, regularly ask yourself, “Is what I’m doing today worshipful and restful?” If the answer is no, then let it go.
