God gives us rest, but sometimes we can’t seem to accept such an extravagant gift. We somehow imagine that the world won’t be able to go on without our involvement. There’s too much to do. Yet God says: “You shall do no work at all. . . . It is to be a sabbath of complete rest to you, and you shall humble your souls” (Leviticus 23:31–32). “Humble your souls”?
