Devotional Topic: HONORING GOD WITH REST
READ: Mark 2:23-3:12

Verse of the Day: Mark 2:27-28

Devotional Message:

(Mark 2:27-28)
"Then he said to them, 'The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.'"

What does this mean for us today? It means that God created the Sabbath, that day of rest, for our benefit. It's a gift from Him to us. He knows we need rest, time to recharge, and time to spend with Him.

Sometimes, we might feel pressured to follow rules or traditions without understanding why. But Jesus reminds us here that rules aren't meant to weigh us down or make us feel burdened. Instead, they're meant to bless us and help us live better lives.

Think about it this way: when we take time to rest and connect with God, we're actually honoring Him. We're saying, "God, we trust You to take care of everything while we take a break." And guess what? Jesus is the ultimate authority over even our rest. He knows exactly what we need and when we need it.

So, if you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, remember Jesus' words. Take a moment to pause, breathe, and lean into God's rest. Trust that He's in control, even when things seem out of control. Let Him be the Lord of your rest, your worries, and your life.

As we go about our days, let's keep this truth close to our hearts: God's love for us is so deep that He even cares about our rest. So let's embrace His gift of Sabbath, knowing that in Him, we find true peace and refreshment for our souls.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for reminding us that the Sabbath was made for our benefit and not to burden us. Help us to find rest and renewal in you, knowing that you are the Lord of our lives and our rest. May we trust in your care and find peace in your presence. In Jesus' name, Amen.
