Rest and Work

This Bible study examines the meaning and place of rest and

work in the Bible, providing a relevant roadmap for our everyday

lives. Workplace Christians who wonder if the Bible s Sabbath

commandments still apply to us today will find this to be a practical,

meditative, and helpful guide.

People thrive when we work and rest in a rhythm that deepens our

connection with God. Yet finding real rest can be challenging. From

the wandering Israelites who didn t trust God s provision, to workplace

Christians who wonder whether Sabbath commandments still apply

today, many ask why and how we should rest. Through biblical analysis

and real-world examples, this in-depth study of rest and work elevates

both activities to their God-given importance.

These Bible studies are part of The Bible and Your Work Study Series. Each

book contains Scripture references, thought-provoking questions, and

prayers to help you explore what the Bible says about work and apply

it to your life in positive, practical ways. The lessons in each chapter are

designed for thirty-minute lunch breaks, although they can be used in

other formats as well.
