There was a good and righteous man named Joseph, a member of the Sanhedrin, 51 who had not agreed with their plan and action. He was from Arimathea, a Judean town, and was looking forward to the kingdom of God. 52 He approached Pilate and asked for Jesus’s body. 53 Taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever been placed.[s] 54 It was the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.[t] 55 The women who had come with him from Galilee followed along and observed the tomb and how his body was placed. 56 Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
Luke 23:50-56 CSB

Does my lifestyle reflect the Rhythm of rest?
A Prayer
Heavenly Father, In this moment, we come to You seeking something that the world cannot give us. ‘Be still and know’ echoes in our souls. There is no reason to worry and toil every day when You are in control. Your Word says that You give rest to Your beloved children, so today, we choose to rest in You and You alone. Let Your will be done. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
