The pastor said, \u201cSorry, but that\u2019s my Sabbath, the day I take off to rest and re-focus on God.\u201d The church member said, \u201cThe devil doesn\u2019t take a day off.\u201d And the pastor said, \u201cYou\u2019re right. And if I didn\u2019t, I\u2019d be just like the devil.\u201d Rest is essential for our spiritual and physical well-being; without it, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/3-types-of-rest-that-help-us-stay-positive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we can become intolerable. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Author and pastor Rick Warren writes, \u201cWhen we don\u2019t rest, we don\u2019t give God our best.\u201d I would add that we don\u2019t give others and, more importantly, ourselves our best either. <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/bible-resources\/bible-verses\/encouraging-bible-verses\/5-bible-verses-that-encourage-rest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The biblical principle of Sabbath,<\/a> which means \u201crest,\u201d was injected into the rhythm of life long before science and medicine confirmed its power and value. People need the Sabbath. It\u2019s so important that it\u2019s one of the Ten Commandments. <\/p>\n<p>We remember \u201cthou shalt not steal\u201d or \u201cthou shall not commit adultery.\u201d But there\u2019s also the fourth commandment, \u201cRemember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>If we don\u2019t rest, our bodies may respond <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/how-to-get-enough-rest-when-youre-sick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">by getting sick or injured.<\/a> A day of rest also helps us <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/the-unexpected-blessings-of-internet-interruptus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refocus our spirit,<\/a> to turn our attention away from work toward solitude, prayer and reflection. A day of rest creates opportunities to reconnect with loved ones through recreation and quality time.  <\/p>\n<p>Each person must decide <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/how-to-balance-your-life-keep-the\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what day of the week works best for them. <\/a>If you can\u2019t take a full day, set aside a few hours. Remember, you have six other days of work to offer. On your day of rest, set aside time to be with God and others. The Sabbath was made for us to enjoy the goodness of His creation and His presence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not only has technology extended our workday into the late hours of the night and over weekends and vacations, these pandemic times have further eroded the lines between work and home.
