You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the Lord. Anyone who works on that day must be put to death. (Exodus 35:2 NLT)
Back in the times of Moses, Sabbath was a day of rest and this rest day was supposed to be dedicated to the Lord. Meaning that the Israelites had to spend their day not in working their ass, toiling in hard labor. But instead, they were to spend that day of rest to go to God, spend time in His presence, worshiping Him and giving thanks for what they have accomplished for the past week. That was how the people rested. Their definition of rest was time with God.
Today, people have come up with a lot of ways to rest and to get revived and re-energized.
How about you? How do you rest? Do you still go to the very source of life and energy? Do you rest in God's presence?
