This week’s readings are based on the “Chill” sermon series. For this series, we are looking at God’s command to rest and the implications this has on our lives. Start resting with God by slowing down, reading the text, and then letting it read you.

Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness, please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever. You can count on this. Take it to heart. This is why we’ve thrown ourselves into this venture so totally. We’re banking on the living God, Savior of all men and women, especially believers.

1 Timothy 4:8-10 (MSG)

Rest replenishes. But, what are we resting in? We can bring God into the ways we rest. But, sometimes we just need to rest in God.

Is there a recreation (hobby/interest) that you need to lessen, so that you can spend more time with God?
