Rest Is Not Optional

Your to-do list is long, the year is moving fast, and everything in you says, “Just keep pushing.” But Scripture invites us into something radically different: rest. Not once the work is done, but right in the middle of the unfinished. Rest is a sign of trust, a reminder that God is the One sustaining all things—including you. If you are exhausted, overwhelmed, or stretched thin, hear this clearly: you don’t need to earn rest. You are allowed to stop.
