There's a big difference between the wisdom of the world and God's wisdom. The world’s wisdom tells us that our worth is measured by what we accomplish, driving us to a relentless pursuit of "more"—more work, more achievements, and a pace of life that leaves us exhausted. But God's wisdom, as revealed in scripture, is often counter-intuitive and calls us to a different way of living.

This is why the Sabbath is so vital. It is not just a religious practice; it is an act of trust. By choosing to rest for one day, we reject the world's demand to always be striving and instead surrender our control to God. This pause allows us to step away from our "got to" lists and embrace our "get to" list, practicing the truth that we are more than what we do. It is in this discipline of rest that we build the faith to trust God with every other area of our lives.
