Sabbath is one of my favorite spiritual practices that I exercise to help me build spiritual muscle memory for surrender. The weekly rhythm of stopping and celebrating is a constant reminder that if I stop working, the world keeps spinning and God can still keep running things without me. It humbles me, fills me up with power for the coming week, and develops a deep neural pathway that connects letting go as a safe choice because we serve a trustWORTHY God.
