Bible Verse of The Day – 11-23-21

Hebrews 4:9-10 (NKJV) 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

During some seasons of ministering we will find ourselves getting very tired.

We may find that there are many more people who are often negative and depressed than those who are doing well and full of joy.

When we feel ourselves getting depressed or starting to be negative, and maybe even angry more often than usual, it’s a good sign for a well needed break.

It can be a heavy load to carry the troubles and concerns of other people.

We can’t constantly push ourselves to keep going if it’s time to rest. We need to stop trying to help others when we feel ourselves getting overburdened.

Too many believers are being beaten down and are giving up from the load they carry, thinking they are doing it all for God.

Well, God says there is a time for rest so we can get built back up.

We are talking to some of you today. You have poured yourself out and there is nothing left to give.

You are feeling depleted and weak as a kitten. You need to enter into some well-needed rest from it all.

Run to God. Find people in our path that we can laugh with and be encouraged by. He will bring the right ones around us.

It’s so very important to be able to pull back from time to time, to laugh and enjoy life.

We need to stay balanced in our ministering and know our limits. When we need a break, we can’t feel guilty about taking one.

Do it for ourselves so we may be refreshed, renewed and increased in our strength.

Isaiah 40:29 (NKJV) 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.
