• In scripture and tradition, the devil is often portrayed as wandering, roaming, seeking whom he may devour. He’s never at peace because he’s cut off from grace.

• Restlessness is a symptom of exile. The devil cannot rest because he cannot dwell in love, cannot abide in truth, cannot be still in the presence of God.

• His movement is frantic, not purposeful. It’s noise without rhythm. Motion without meaning.

• Rest isn’t laziness—it’s obedience. God rested on the seventh day not because He was tired, but to model rhythm, reflection, and reverence.

• In Exodus and Deuteronomy, Sabbath is a commandment. But it’s also a gift. A holy pause that says: “I am not defined by my labor. I am held by something greater.”

• Jesus himself withdrew to rest and pray. Even in the storm, He slept—because He trusted the Father.
