Explanation

The Hebrew word for "Rest" is "Nuach" (נוּחַ). It means to settle down, to remain stationed, to rest quietly.

Inspiration

Are you getting enough rest? It is the one thing we sacrifice, yet it renews us the most! Where is your rest in the presence of God?

Application for Today

  • Have you ever thought of sleep as being spiritual. If you are tired, it's probably time to book in an extra long rest and lay in. God has made you to recharge. Do so as soon as possible!

Prayer

Father God, help me to rest in you today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
