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.

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)

When we think about rest, we usually go to a place of physical rest. But, many times what we really need is mental rest. God wants to bring us peace, but it can’t happen unless we rest in Him.

How are you resting mentally? Do you spend more time trying to escape your worries through some form of distraction or fixing your thoughts on God?
