“A Rhythm Of Rest”

It’s the holiday season. Your schedule is jammed. You’re busy with shopping for food to make and take to parties. Then there’s the stress of actually going to the party. You’re buying thinking about what presents to get for whom. Then there’s the stress of coordinating schedules to actually give them the presents.

Oh, and this is in addition to your regular job and regular extra items in your schedule. And if you’re a parent whose kids have jammed schedules of their own…

The problem is, it’s not just the holiday season. We’re always busy. We live in a culture that equates business with success. And all of this is out of step with the rhythm of Jesus and the rhythm of creation.

This week in our series, Becoming, we’re looking at God’s invitation to step into the spiritual practices of slowness and rests, beginning with page one of the Bible.
