“And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.”
What can we learn from the command to rest?
There is something to rest from,
the good Lord recognizes our labor both in the past and yet to come,
the God of grace provides us with rest,
to reject the rest given by Him is to insult his gift and to defy his wisdom,
to resist rest is to risk the fruit of the ideas of patience, waiting and providence.

Though made in His image, encouraged to tend and to build, we are creatures of grace for “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure”.
"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters."
Let us rest and in so doing glorify and enjoy our God and Father.
