Summary

In the third and final episode in our “Replay and Rest” series, we’ll revisit a conversation between Dan and Becky Allender as they reflect on the profound depths of rest we are invited to in Psalm 131.

We know that rest is of the utmost importance in order to recover from the toll that stress takes on our bodies, our minds, and our hearts. Here at The Allender Center, we are practicing what we teach and many of our team members are taking reduced work hours and vacation time during the month of July. In that spirit, we are choosing to re-air three popular past episodes that center around the theme of rest this month. Even if you have heard these before, we hope that you will take the time to listen, reflect, and purposely make space for rest in your own life.

1:26.3	This series, we've been considering Psalm 131 and its implications for living, as Becky said last time, like a human being,
1:36.8	allowing our hearts to receive the goodness of God in the land of the living so that our bodies
1:43.3	and our hearts do not despair.
1:46.0	And as we come to a conclusion, we're coming to this final passage,
1:50.0	O Israel, hope in the Lord, now and forever.
1:56.0	And it's a very simple ending, but in many ways, I see it as the verse that in some ways comprehends the
