Genesis 2:3 (NKJV) 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

We need to know our limits and take a day of rest from all our work too!

Some will look at this and say, “well, there is only one me and who is going to do the rest of the work that needs to get done? If I don’t do it, it doesn’t get done, rest is not in the picture for me.”

No matter how much work needs to get done, or how many responsibilities we have on our plate, there is always time to take a break, even if it is for just a short time. We need to rest!

Sometimes the journey we are on, the season we are in, calls us into rest. Don’t neglect what our bodies are telling us to do.

When we take a rest, we are helping ourselves. We are more alert, more patient, more understanding and quicker at discerning situations.

It will help us in the long run and we will see that by resting or breaking when we need to, we will get much more done than we thought we would get done before we rested.

Tiredness will only go away when we get the proper rest. Take a day off and don’t feel guilty about it.

Remember, it’s important to rest from the things we do day to day.

Exodus 20:11 (NKJV) 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Rest.

It’s so very important to rest.

Sometimes, by the time we feel the need to rest and actually do it, it’s gone way beyond time, and now we desperately need it.

We speak from experience on this one, because neither one of us knows when to stop. But, we are learning the importance of it.

If we feel the need to rest our heads, we simply need to know it’s OK.

If we feel the need to rest our physical bodies, we need to know it’s OK.

If we feel the need to rest in our spiritual walk, we need to know it’s OK.

Taking time to rest is what will give us the strength we need to keep going down the path God has set before us.

When we rest we get renewed, refreshed, and rejuvenated, and that is what helps us to make right decisions.

Get some rest today.

It doesn’t necessarily mean we have to lay down and sleep.

Sometimes it’s just shutting down for a bit and doing something outside of our routine that doesn’t require a lot of planning, effort, or thought.

God desires us to rest!

Amen.
