I have been struggling lately, and I know I’m not supposed to be perfect. I give myself grace because I understand that truly resting on the Sabbath wasn’t always a reality for me m even after becoming a believer. If you’ve been on this journey, you know the feeling. Some days, your mind is clear, and you just want to work. The crazy thing is, there’s nothing wrong with working in itself, but God gave us a blueprint, and in that blueprint, we rest. This rest isn’t just a rule it’s a gift. God knows we need it.

Honestly, the goal is to push ourselves to spend more time with God on the Sabbath, free from distractions. But yesterday, I woke up full of ideas. I started writing them down, my brain moving a mile a minute, and I had to stop and ask myself: What are you doing, Henry?  I had to remind myself if an idea comes, I can write it down, but that’s where it stops. That’s something I have to continue to tell myself.

Later in the day, a friend sent me a few sermons on YouTube, and I finally locked in. Let me tell you those messages hit differently. The day didn’t start how I wanted, but it ended on a great note. It also gave me time to pray and truly connect with God. And since we’re being honest here my wife and I had a disagreement, and I was pre-upset. You know that feeling when something gets under your skin, and it’s hard to let go? Normally, I would’ve let that tension linger, but because I was spending time with God, the Holy Spirit wouldn’t let me ignore it. It took me a few hours, but I finally let that simple disagreement go.

If you’re an entrepreneur struggling with taking a true Sabbath, I hope this helps. The grind mentality makes us want to go, go, go, but God calls us to rest, rest, rest. And here’s the irony when we do, He fills us with even more ideas than we can contain.
