In the early 20th century, cocaine was put into products as a way to stay alert. Tobacco companies advertised that doctors used their products to sway customers to believe that their addictive products were safe to use. What we might not notice is that cell phones, social media platforms, and information are the cocaine and tobacco companies of this generation. They are addictive. They can be harmful. They want to enslave you. But God created us to find our freedom in him alone. That’s why he gave his people the Sabbath Day – a weekly celebration of their freedom. The reason why we are overwhelmed with busyness isn’t because we work too hard. It’s because we don’t know how to rest, and how to find our rest in God.
