“There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.” Hebrews 4:9-10 NIV
In the Old Testament, the Jewish understanding of Sabbath involved a 24-hour time of rest that stood out from the other days. They had been freed from Pharaoh’s rule and reminded by God that they were no longer slaves — slaves unallowed to stop. Sabbath rest reminded people that they were finite and had limited energy. Today, God reminds us of the same, and the Sabbath remains.
Sabbath is a 24-hour period set aside toward resting in God. It goes against the culture of hustle and instead creates a rhythm of pausing and communing with God. Your chosen day to practice Sabbath can be broken down into four categories — stop, rest, delight and worship, which can certainly be applied to life in college.
