For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Hebrews 4:10
This verse in Hebrews refers to the Lord's 4th commandment:
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore, the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy." Exodus 20:8-11
God is commanding us to take a break! He is indeed giving us permission to take some time off and rest! How amazing and wonderful is that!
Honestly, I have found that when I do take the time to truly rest, that not only do I feel better for it, but I am also admittedly more productive!
We can rest in His grace and mercy. Thank you, God, for your peace that passes all understanding. Praise the Lord!
