Rest Day
Each Sunday is a Rest Day. There is no new Bible reading to do. Today, the goal is simple: rest in the presence of God. Maybe you need to use today to get caught up on the reading plan if you’re behind, maybe you want to journal what you’re learning so you don’t forget what God is teaching you, or maybe you want to spend time in concentrated prayer–do that. Above all, just spend time in God’s presence.
Each Rest Day, we will have an additional element to help you dig deeper. Sometimes it will be extra resources to further your study, a video to watch, or a podcast to listen to. Sometimes we’ll have a verse to commit to memorize to help you hide God’s Word in your heart.

Refelction Guide
As you reflect on Psalms 81-86 this week, ask yourself the following questions:
- Which psalm resonated with you most this week? Why?
- What did this week’s readings teach you about God?
- What did this week’s reading teach you about humanity (and yourself)?

Been focusing on this verse this past week . . .
Psalm 84:10 “Better is one day in your courts than thousands elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.”
The “trade” of one day with God vs a thousand elsewhere seems to be a bad deal on the surface of it, but is actually a great deal!
Psalm 86:11 is my heart’s cry. In a world that’s chaotic I often struggle with a divided heart.
“Teach me your way, Lord, that I might rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I might fear your name.
