Finding True Rest
It is so easy to feel overwhelmed when we look at our never-ending lists of to-do’s. Life feels louder, faster, and heavier than ever. One day bleeds into the next, rest is postponed, and before we know it, our souls are weary. Yet the Bible gently reminds us that rest was never meant to be optional—it is part of God’s loving design for our lives.
In this issue of Wine Press, we’ve included articles that encourage us to regularly lay aside the weights that so easily beset us and to truly rest. Sabbath is a gift from God, designed not just to stop our work, but to restore our hearts and renew our strength.
Resting in the Lord is more than taking a break. It is choosing trust over striving, presence over pressure, and faith over fear. Jesus’ invitation still stands: “Come to Me… and I will give you rest.” We pray that this issue will encourage you to slow down, turn your heart toward Jesus, and rediscover the life-giving rest only He can give.
