2. Are you physically tired? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1 in 3 adults in the United States reported not getting enough rest or sleep every day. Sleep deficiency is linked to many chronic health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression.

3. The consequence… Errors at work snappy with family Poor decisions Health Also the give and take

4. Other than sleeping what else can we do So we aren’t worn out and tired? Make the Sabbath a priority Make it a rest/fun day Refrain from work on that day

5. So what does the Bible say?

6. Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ ”Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.“

7. Genesis Chapter 2:1-3 Day 7 After finishing his creation in 6 days, God rested on the 7th day This was set as an example for use to follow God bless the 7th day and made it holy

8. Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭8-‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬ ”“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.”Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns.“

9. Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ ”For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

10. Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV ‬‬ ””For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 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. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.”

11. Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭NIV‬‬ ”The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”“

12. Jesus recognized that the disciples were tired and needed rest( “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”“ ). ”So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.“ ‭‭Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭32‬ ‭NIV‬‬ You should guard your rest, if not can you do everything you were meant to do for Christ?

13. Sabbath Laws New Law vs Old Law Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ ”“For six years you are to sow your fields and harvest the crops, but during the seventh year let the land lie unplowed and unused. Then the poor among your people may get food from it, and the wild animals may eat what is left. Do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.“

14. Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ ”“Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the slave born in your household and the foreigner living among you may be refreshed. “Be careful to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your lips.“

15. Should we rest the land? The benefits God designed the earth to self heal Should every animal rest? Doesn’t mean neglect. Luke 14:5 Everyone in your household should rest even works/guests too.

16. Why are you Spiritually Tired?

17. Causes of Spiritual tiredness The God shaped hole in your heart(the need of Salvation) Are you trying to fix yourself? Fruitless work Are you putting time in the right places? Do you live half of the life to reap none of the living?

18. Rely on God’s Strength Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭29 ‭NIV‬‬ ”Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.“”He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.“

19. Rely on God’s Strength Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭NIV‬‬ ”Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.“

20. T rade your human trying for trusting Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ ”Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.“

21. Allow God to shape and mold you Isaiah‬ ‭64‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ ”Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. Do not be angry beyond measure, Lord; do not remember our sins forever. Oh, look on us, we pray, for we are all your people.“

22. Simple Grace by “Mouth of the South” For all my elect I have the authority to command And the power to affect The strength to defend The compassion to protect You work futility to its end And forsake the day of rest But when you grow tired again I will be there to help you unforget...
