Sabbath rest is not about rule-following. It is about learning to trust God with your time and soul. In today’s devotional, explore how setting aside time for rest can draw you closer to Him.

Mondays usually kick off in overdrive, but what if this one began with rest? Not the rest that clears your schedule, but the kind that quiets your spirit in the presence of God.

There’s a lot of sickness going around, and our household has not escaped it. It seems like it has been lingering, moving from one person to the next. While I have managed to avoid most of it, I may be dealing with a bit of a cough myself.

It’s frustrating to be slowed down when there’s so much to do. But sickness has a way of reminding us of something we often forget: We are not invincible.

We live in a fallen world where sickness and weakness are part of life. I’m not saying God caused this sickness, but I do know this: in every season, even the ones we wouldn’t choose, He is present, and He is faithful.
