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 111-116 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)?

This verse really stuck out for me from Psalm 112:7:
They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
That does mean that bad news does not affect them or give them pain. It simply means they will stay resolute in their faith that God is in charge.
This is something I need to remember.
True that!
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his faithful servants.
I have been reflecting on this verse this week. It is so important to finish strong. I want to be a faithful servant such that my death will be precious in the sight of the Lord.
