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 124-129 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)?
One response to “Rest Day + Reflection Guide (Psalm 124-129)”
Psalm 127
3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.
This has been on my mind a lot this week . . .
Children are a blessing from God. That truth should guide so much of our own and our society’s decision-making!
