Study Guide

The spiritual discipline of rest

Ours is a 24/7, go-go world, where the one who hesitates is lost and the one who dies with the most toys wins. We’re working so hard, and it’s depleting our physical, mental and emotional energy. The Bible is crystal clear that being busy all the time is not how God wants us to live. Taking on rest as a spiritual discipline can help bring balance into our lives.
