We live in a fast-paced world that tempts us to never stop. There is always more to do and not enough time to do it. God gives us a gift called the Sabbath, an opportunity to rest with Him. God created us in His image for a rhythm of work and rest. When we violate that rhythm, we do violence to our own souls. It's no coincidence that this practice is part of the Ten Commandments, highlighting its importance in our spiritual lives.
