Rest

Rest. It’s something most of us would like, but many times we don’t take the time to do it.

We live in a fast-paced world. It seems there is always one more job, project, or responsibility we must complete. Each of us has 24 hours each day, but for some of us, there still doesn’t seem to be enough time in our day to accomplish all that we need or feel that we need to do.

Jesus said in Matthew 11: 28-29 New International Version (NIV)

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

At some point in your day, spend time with the Lord. Are you a morning person? Maybe you like to open your Bible early in the morning when everyone else is asleep. Maybe mid-day works better for you. Take a break with your favorite breakfast beverage and read your Bible app. I love the You Version devotionals. 1 There are numerous topics and enough study guides to help you each day.

Another way to spend time with the Lord is by listening to inspirational music. My favorite radio station is 95.1 Bright FM radio. 2 They share the hope of Jesus through word and song. They offer many ways to connect with them and with others. Finally, spend time with the Lord through prayer. Praying is simply talking with God and listening to Him as He speaks to your heart.

However you see fit, relax and rest in the Lord. He will give you the strength to do all you need to accomplish each day.
