“QUESTIONS
for Reflection How might Sabbath be a way of resisting the instinct to worship work? Can you identify areas of your own life where work or achievement have served either as a numbing agent or as what provided your identity? How might your work be driven by either fear or purpose? Why did God give the law of Sabbath rest? What do you think about rest being a way to worship God? How might admitting your own needs allow you to care for the needs of your community? What needs of yours are currently unmet? What are the rhythms of your life saying to the world around you? Do they indicate that you serve a God of grace or that you serve at the altar of workaholism? Have you experienced a time when God did the seemingly impossible when you entrusted something to him (like God stretching time)?”
