Sabbath Living in a Busy World

Written By Lesa Gurley Coaching

Sabbath is not just a day—it’s a posture of the heart.

“The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”
— Mark 2:27

God designed Sabbath as protection against burnout and self-reliance. It’s a weekly reminder that we are human—not machines.

Sabbath living includes:

  • intentional rest

  • delight

  • worship

  • trust

When we rest, we declare that God is our provider.
