God is always leading us to the Promised Land of rest.
Rest is not simply inactivity.
Rest is a not a luxury.
Rest is a discipline. Rest is a promise.
We dispose ourselves to receive the promise of rest through a disciplined desert process common to God’s people from the beginning. The biblical Exodus story is a map through this desert process, showing us the disciplines that offer “dew” – God’s renewing presence in the desert that leads us to the superabundance of rest in thought, emotion, body, and soul.
