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 63-68 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)?

Psalm 63 resonated most with me this week. As life often feels defeating and challenging, we can always rely on God. Knowing God and his love is more satisfying than anything else. I was reminded of this song:

For me, this past week this verse has really stuck in my mind:
Psalm 68:5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.
God meets us in our pain and loneliness. He is with us.
