Bible Verse of The Day – 8-6-20

Genesis 2:2 (NKJV) 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

When God was done, He took rest. We’d better know the importance of this kind of rest!

Last week we decided to take a “God rest”. We did a “stay-cation”.

But, as each day came and went, we slowly began to fill it up with helping people out when needed.

We realized a “stay-cay” really wasn’t working for us.

In order to rest the way God wants us to, we’ve realized that we have to uproot ourselves and just get away from it all.

God knows, we have seen pastors who didn’t take the time to break away, and they got burned out.

We pray God gives us the wisdom to take proper rest when needed. His work is far too important to us. And at times, in order to do what He wants us to do, we must have a sufficient amount of quietness, with no plans.

It’s very important for all of us to take rest when we need it.

So today, if this is speaking to you, make it a priority to get proper rest, where you can shut down and not even think.

Everybody is different in what makes them pull back and really get rest. So, find what works for you and be content in it.

If God has told us that we need to rest, then we need to be sure to listen and do what he says.
