117. Finding Rest in a Busy Season: Embracing Sabbath, Silence, and the Savior
As the holiday season approaches, many of us feel the relentless pull of busyness and the pressure to stay connected online. But what if this year, we chose something different?
In this final episode before my sabbatical, I invite you to reflect on the beauty of rest—true rest that nourishes the soul.
Together, we’ll explore what it means to step away from the noise, embrace Sabbath rhythms, and draw closer to Jesus during this sacred time.
We’ll unpack scriptures that remind us of God’s gift of rest, like Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus invites the weary to find rest in Him, and Exodus 20:8-11, where God calls us to honor the Sabbath. I’ll also share practical tips on pulling back from social media, cultivating quiet moments with God, and living in alignment with His peace during this holiday season.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life or simply yearning for deeper intimacy with Jesus, this episode is for you. Let’s learn how to pause, breathe, and be still in the presence of the One who came to bring us peace.
Scriptures Mentioned:
- Matthew 11:28-30: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
- Exodus 20:8-11: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy...”
- Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God...”
- Isaiah 40:31: “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength...”
Key Takeaways:
- Why Rest Matters: Rest is a spiritual discipline that renews us and reflects God’s heart for His people.
- The Role of Sabbath: How honoring the Sabbath allows us to set aside time to connect with God and recalibrate our hearts.
- Jesus as Our Rest: Practical ways to let go of burdens and find refreshment in Him.
Tune in for this heartfelt conversation, and may it inspire you to embrace the rest your soul truly needs this season.
