Scripture of the Week: Get Some Rest

Proverbs 23:4 (EasyEnglishBible)

"Do not work so hard to become rich that you make yourself ill. Be wise and rest when you need to."

There’s a quiet wisdom in Proverbs 23:4 that speaks directly to the pace of our lives today. We often find ourselves chasing goals, hustling for the next accomplishment, or striving to prove something through our work. But this scripture gently reminds us not to exhaust ourselves trying to gain wealth or control outcomes on our own.

God never asked us to run ourselves into the ground. He calls us to trust His guidance more than our grind, and to remember that true success comes from walking in His purpose, not our own pressure. When we pause long enough to let Him lead, we find rest, clarity, and provision that doesn't drain us—but strengthens us.

As you move through your day, let this verse be a reminder: Your worth isn’t in how hard you hustle—it’s in who you belong to. And when God directs your steps, the work you do carries peace, purpose, and grace.
