Rest

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Do you feel drained? Are you running on empty?

Don’t keep going like this. You will crash. Stop before it’s too late.

We must bring ourselves to a point where we can find the rest we need.

Most times it’s just us accepting that we are tired, admitting that we need to slow down, and allowing ourselves the time we need to get that rest.

The three places where rest is needed are our body, our mind, and our spirit.

Once we reach a certain point, and we don’t get the proper rest, we can cause damage. We must take a break before we break.

We can never put our work ahead of taking care of ourselves.

We must watch for the signs.

Signs of tiredness or fatigue.

Signs of a constant negative outlook about everything.

Signs of no tolerance.

Signs of spending less time with God.

We need to see the signs and take the necessary steps to replenish ourselves. We need to get built up again, in the word and in prayer.

This is a reminder for us all today not to neglect ourselves; to come to Him and He will give us rest.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-1-25

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.

Our work can surely keep us busy.

There is so much to do in a day. I find myself some nights thinking about some of the things that I so wanted to get done but I wasn’t able to complete.

The things we don’t get completed during the day can take away our rest at night if we let them.

It can be difficult to meet our own expectations at times. Why do we put so much on our plate? Why so much demand?

I’m entering this year with a plan; a plan to not be so hard on myself, and give me some time to take it easy, to rest.

I want to spend less time being too busy.

I want to be sure to make time to take a walk on the beach, time to sit and read more, and to be able to just stop at times to praise God and thank Him for the little and big things.

I want this year to be a year of getting even closer to God than ever before, and not worry so much about things that are out of my control.

The days go by so quickly. And starting now, I will be spending my time working on gaining more of God and less of worldly problems.

This will be my focus.

My Rest will be in Him, by keeping my mind from racing and focusing my quiet time and my thoughts on Him.

What is on your plate today that can be removed so you too can take rest?

Do we need to balance out those portions, helping us rest and stay steady in the natural and in the spiritual.

Let us look at our portions and adjust them accordingly.
