Scripture 

Primary Text: Mark 6:31

Observations & Applications

1. What are some life rhythms you currently have—whether intentional or unintentional? 

2. Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” (Mark 2:27). How does practicing Sabbath—setting aside time for worship, rest, and delight—benefit us spiritually, emotionally, and physically? 

3. Jesus often withdrew to quiet places to pray and be with the Father (Luke 5:16). How can practicing silence and solitude deepen our relationship with God?

4. Ecclesiastes 8:15 says, “So I commend the enjoyment of life.” How does joy and play reflect God’s design for a healthy soul?
