Abide | Rest on Saturday

Do you need rest today?

Terrence acknowledges what we all feel…exhaustion. Whether from work, parenting, driving, lack of sleep, constant news, or simply trying to keep up with life, there is a collective weariness in our culture. While some fatigue is unavoidable, much of it stems from our own striving.

We often live like “little gods,” trying to control outcomes and earn our value. In that mindset, rest becomes optional instead of essential.

Hebrews 4 reminds us that God’s rest is still available today. True rest begins with faith–trusting God’s promises and His faithfulness. Like Israel, we miss rest when we choose unbelief. But God’s invitation still stands: “Today.”

In a culture that glorifies hustle, Scripture teaches that rest is entered, not earned. It is a gift made possible through Christ’s finished work. We don’t achieve it, we enter it by surrendering self-reliance, approval-seeking, and control.

The gospel is not only our hope for eternity; it is our invitation to experience Christ’s rest today.

Will you enter it?
