Sabbath is not dependent upon our readiness to stop. We do not stop when we are finished.
We do not stop when we complete our phone calls, finish our project, get through this stack of messages, or get out this report that is due tomorrow.
We stop because it is time to stop. Sabbath requires surrender.
If we only stop when we are finished with all our work, we will never stop--because our work is never completely done. With every accomplishment there arises a new responsibility.
Every swept floor invites another sweeping, every child bathed invites another bathing.
When all life moves in such cycles, what is ever finished?
The sun goes 'round, the moon goes 'round, the tides and seasons go 'round, people are born and die, and when are we finished? If we refuse rest until we are finished, we will never rest until we die. Sabbath dissolves the artificial urgency of our days, because it liberates us from the need to be finished.
On this episode of The Father Pursuit, we discuss what it looks like to have faith and rest, and the faith it actually takes TO REST. We will look at our experiences with rest over the years, how it has helped process emotions, and find peace with God in the midst of a chaotic world.
