  1. God rests before anyone is tired — rest is woven into creation, not a concession to weakness. What does that reframe for you?
  2. 'He gives to his beloved sleep' (Psalm 127:2). What are you currently trying to secure by staying anxious that this verse says is given, not earned?
  3. Jesus' yoke is 'easy' yet still a yoke. How is his rest different from doing nothing?
🙏 Lord of the Sabbath, teach me to stop as an act of trust — and give to your beloved sleep.
