The Struggle of taking time to rest. What is rest 

  • It is not sitting around being lazy
    • What is the difference between resting and being lazy  
    • Work is a good thing -  we are called to work 
  • It has purpose 
    • Mankind is made in the image and likeness of God. When God created humans in his image and likeness, He gave them the task of ruling the world (Genesis 1:26). In chapter 2, he also gives them specific to work the Garden of Eden and to take care of it (Genesis 2:15). As God himself works, so too must they. “He is a cosmic gardener who rules over his world and they are to be cosmic gardeners, working in it and ruling over it.

Humans therefore work because God works. Work can have meaning because God gives it meaning. He creates them as workers and he sees what he has made and pronounces it ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31).

As with work, rest has meaning because God gives it meaning. He creates people who need rest and who have it in their nature to rest.
