Rest is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as a period during which work or movement ceases to allow relaxation, sleep, or recovery of strength.
Every human being should have the concept of rest for himself, his servants and workers, his land, and the machines or equipment we use. For example, if you continually use your photocopier or printer, it might stop working.
For humans, there are periods called Work Time and Free Time. We work to live, we don’t live to work.
The Lord established the Sabbath for the Israelites to teach the importance of rest and drive this point home.
God didn’t make the Sabbath for his benefit. He made it for yours: “The Sabbath was made to benefit man, and not man to benefit the Sabbath” (Mark 2:27 TLB). God created the Sabbath so you wouldn’t get burnt out.
But many people ignore their need for rest. When you ignore God’s laws, who gets hurt? Not God. Ignoring your need for rest only leaves you exhausted and overwhelmed.
Taking a rest may be particularly difficult if you’re an entrepreneur, self-employed, or work remotely. If you don’t schedule a Sabbath for yourself, you’ll never take a break.
No matter your work situation, when you have an off day or leave period, it doesn’t matter what day of the week you take your rest or what time of the year you take your leave. You must take time off and step away from work. Fatigue will certainly set in. Just as you schedule everything else during your week, month, or year, you need to plan your rest during the free time you have.
