Rev. Carol McEntyre 5/30/2021 The Good Life: Rest, First Baptist Church of Columbia MO
May 30, 2021
Summary
The spiritual practice of rest is essential for an abundant life; we remember that even God rested.
Detail
If we forget to rest, we will work too hard and forget our more tender mercies, forget those we love, forget our children and our natural wonder. God says: Please don’t. It is a waste of a tremendous gift I have given you. If you knew the value of your life, you would not waste a single breath. So, I give you this commandment: Remember to rest. This is not a life-style suggestion, but a commandment – as important as not stealing, not murdering, or not lying. Remember... this gift of sacred rest.
