God’s word is practical.

God’s word tells us, time and time again, to rest.

Resting is important for our bodies, our minds and our emotions.

(NASB) Exodus 23:12 “Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves.”

You are to rest!  One day out of seven.

So many times we have busy schedules, over-commitments, and not enough time for our families or ourselves to rest.

When we do not rest, we are not doing our bodies any favors; in fact, we are harming ourselves.

Rest is important!
