A few years ago I was blessed to attend a workshop on Sabbath and it has quickly become one of my favorite topics. During that time we were invited to consider the hymn by Marva Dawn "Come Away from Rush and Hurry":
Come then, children, with your burdens - life's confusions, fears, and pain. Leave them at the cross or Jesus; take instead is kingdom's reign."
I don't know about you but all too often I live my life in such a way that forgets or displaces that Sabbath rest is part of God's kingdom reign. I think its all up to me or how hard I work or how much I do, instead of making space for God to truly reign in my life. A place to do as commanded and rest.
Do you struggle with this as well? If so, what makes it difficult for you?
