Resting to Restore

Good morning, Brothers . Happy Thursday. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! God loves you. I love you. Take a moment to pray for someone. Let’s sing, Even though your winds blow. I want you to know, You cause me no alarm. Cause I'm safe in his arms. Even though your rain falls. I can still make this call; Let there be peace. Now I can say go away, I command you to move today. Because of faith, I have a brand new day. The sun will shine - and I will be okay! Today’s verse is from Mark 6:31-32. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. Hurry. Hustle. Go. Do. Achieve. Fix. Adulthood is marked by the pressures of so much to do and never enough time. We need reminding-as we did when we were children-sometimes it's time to rest, even if we didn't get our list of chores done. Jesus took naps and spent time alone to regroup and rest. He knows we need downtime. It's not a sign of failure. It's a sign of trust in God. If you're exhausted, how might Jesus be inviting you to get away and rest in His presence? God loves you. Have a blessed day.
