"Control is usually an attempt to create certainty in a world that feels uncertain."
God presents the Sabbath to His people in the Old Testament as a commandment, but we rarely view it that way. We think that rest is the reward for hard work. It's something to look forward to when the job is done. For most of us, this mindset comes from our deeply-ingrained control issues.
In God's inverted Kingdom, you don't work so you can rest; you rest so you can work. God gave us the Sabbath as an opportunity to trust that He will provide, even when we aren't "doing" anything.
This week, take time to sit in silence. No devices. No music. No podcasts. Just stillness and silence before God.
