The Creation account in Genesis tells us that God rested from His work. If God decided to rest, imagine how badly we — without His infinite resources — should do the same. He set an example and established a rhythm in creation: work six days and rest on the seventh. However, in our go-go 24/7 world, we seldom rest and as a result, we pay the price. A 2024 SHRM survey found that 44% of U.S. employees feel burned out at work, with 45% feeling emotionally drained and 51% feeling used up at the end of the workday. In this survey of the topic “rest,” Pastor Bo looks at why and how we can find this dwindling necessity, and its rewards.
