To stop, to cease, or to keep.

Friends: we simply run too hard, go to fast, do too much, say yes to often, and hustle more than our minds and bodies can take. We are bound to schedules, we drown under the fear of coming up short. The truth is we are often too busy to realize we are overwhelmed and too overwhelmed to realize we are too busy.

And God knew we would be this way.

In fact, God at creation spoke to us about the struggle this would be.
God even modeled, in Genesis 2, that on the 7th day after he finished his work and his work was done, he rested.
Then be blessed the 7th day and made it holy because on it He rested from all His work that He had done in creation.
God did more work than you will ever do in creation, then rested and called that rest holy.

[25] At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; [26] yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. [27] All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. [28] Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
