What is rest?

What do you think of when you think of rest?

Are sleeping and rest the same thing?

Proverbs 6:9–11 NASB95
9 How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? 10 “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest”— 11 Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.
Proverbs 20:13 NASB95
13 Do not love sleep, or you will become poor; Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with food.

Do we need sleep / rest?

Why should we rest?

Genesis 2:2 NASB95
2 By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
Exodus 23:12 NASB95
12 “Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves.
Mark 6:31 NASB95
31 And He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)
Matthew 11:28–30 NASB95
28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

To sum up

Rest is a state of being

Ecclesiastes 4:6 NASB95
6 One hand full of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.
Psalm 4:8 NASB95
8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.
Psalm 127:2 NASB95
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.
Hebrews 4:8–11 NASB95
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. 9 So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 10 For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. 11 Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.
