Do you ever wonder what true rest really feels like? Maybe you believe that it is a place of escape or some much-needed, uninterrupted sleep. And that is a part of the definition, but there is so much more. Rest is a place we are to live from every day. Learn how in today’s post.

As a child, sitting and “resting” had a negative connotation. It was to sit and think about what you did wrong – and who wants to do that? Taking a nap as a child was torture as well! Could this be why taking a time-out from our busy schedules is difficult for some of us to do? However, just as God did after creating the world, a time of rest should be about enjoying the fruit of your labor. When God rested, it wasn’t because He was tired but rather to stop and enjoy what He had done.
