“Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

As we start our Thanksgiving week and the busyness all the holidays bring, I want us not to forget to rest with God. I am guilty for not always honoring the sabbath. This verse doesn’t necessarily say, God blessed Sundays. It says God blessed the seventh day. Will you join me in making room for God and rest? Simply pick a day, every seventh day. If you can’t give 24 hours, give pockets of time for God and enjoy some rest.

With Thanksgiving being Thursday, there are a lot of food preparations being made. From planning to shopping, baking, traveling, and more. Like this picture, God is our rock. As we rest with him, we can renew our strength for the coming weeks. We read in Psalms‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

Let’s make spending time of rest with god our favorite place and time of the week. I encourage you to listen to, Favorite Place by Kari Jobe
