Bible verses about God’s Rest

I misquoted this bible verse in my voice message, but please read below the actual:

1 Psalm 23:1–3 (ESV)

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake”

*God leads you to rest and renewal, He's intentional about your peace.*

  1. Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT)

"Then Jesus said, 'Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.'”
*Jesus offers deep soul-rest to those who are worn out.*

  1. Exodus 33:14 (NLT)

"The Lord replied, 'I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you.’”
*God’s presence is where rest is found.*

  1. Hebrews 4:9–11 (NLT)

"So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. So let us do our best to enter that rest..."
*There is a divine rest promised to God’s people, spiritual and eternal.*

Bible verse mentioned about Abraham

Genesis 22:5 (ESV)

"Then Abraham said to his young men, 'Stay here with the donkey; I and the boy will go over there and worship and come again to you.'"

 Abraham calls what he’s about to do (obedience to God's command) worship. Even though it was painful, he trusted God completely.

Reflection:

Abraham's worship wasn’t just a song or prayer—it was an act of faith, surrender, and reverence for God. True worship often involves trusting God when it doesn’t make sense.
