DAY OF REST!! YOU NEED TO TRY IT!!
How often have we said, “Thank God it is Friday, I can’t wait for my weekend.” Then we get up Monday morning still tired, worn out, exhausted, and mentally fatigued. We never take time to get away from the pressure, stress, and worries that life brings on us. We have to learn to rest and relax our minds and our bodies. Church is a GREAT way to let our minds move from us to God. (Psalm 62:5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.) Spending the weekend worrying about things bigger than you, trying to solve work issues, or wasting the time does you no good. Find you some God time and see how much more refreshed you feel on Monday morning when your work week starts. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28–30 that if we are overburdened, weary, and worn out, we should spend time with Him and see how He handled life. He promises to give us rest. The Amplified Bible’s translation of these verses indicates that the type of rest He is talking about is refreshment, renewal and blessed quiet for our souls. Jesus is really offering us a vacation for our souls, our inner lives. Find it at your church today. Pastor Don
