The Sacred Sabbath: God-ordained rest and why Sabbath is your Secret Weapon

When was the last time you truly rested—not just physically, but deep in your soul?

In a world that glorifies hustle and productivity, we often forget that rest isn’t a reward—it’s a command. And more than that, it’s a gift from God.

In today’s episode of The Sacred Rhythms mini-series, we’re talking about the power of Sabbath rest and why it’s your secret weapon for a more peaceful, faith-filled life. God didn’t design us to run on empty. He calls us to pause, breathe, and trust Him with our time. Because when we make space for rest, we position ourselves to receive more of His presence, His wisdom, and His provision.

✨ In this episode, we’ll chat about:

🌸 What true Sabbath looks like (hint: it’s more than just taking a day off)

🌸 Why rest is an act of faith and surrender

🌸 How keeping the Sabbath strengthens your relationship with God

🌸 Simple ways to slow down and incorporate holy rest into your busy life

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or running on fumes, this conversation will remind you that rest is holy—and it’s exactly what your soul needs to flourish.

📖 Scriptures to Hold Onto:

✨ Exodus 20:8-10 – “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”

✨ Mark 2:27 – “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”

✨ Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
