REST: THE DIVINE PATTERN

From the beginning of creation, God established rest as a divine pattern when He rested on the seventh day in the Book of Genesis, revealing that rest is part of His design for our lives. Our bodies heal and restore while we sleep, showing that physical rest reflects a deeper spiritual truth—trusting God instead of striving. From the Sabbath to Jesus’ invitation in the Gospel of Matthew 11:28 and the promise of rest in the Epistle to the Hebrews 4, Scripture shows that rest is both a command and a gift, and God calls us to walk in His rhythm of peace and surrender.
