Much Needed Rest
We went to Lowes yesterday to pick up additional supplies for my do-it-yourself project that has lasted for days.
I was tired when I got up and I was tired on the drive there and back and I was tired when we got back!
I decided that I had just better go over my sermon for today and get some much-needed rest!
Sometimes we just need rest for the cares of the world. Even Jesus got away from the crowds to get some rest once in a while.
Mark 6:31 GNB reads: There were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his disciples didn't even have time to eat. So he said to them, "Let us go off by ourselves to some place where we will be alone and you can rest a while."
Some of us can learn something from that right there! I know so many people that have literally burnt themselves out becasue they never took a break.
Yesterday, my body was sore all over (still is) and that scripture sounds so good! Amen?
I know that I needed that physical rest but I also realized that we will all have that spiritual rest as well, amen?
While I was resting yesterday, I remembered Jesus telling us in Matthew 11:28 GNB "Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.
Now that sounds awesome, huh?
I pray you get some physical rest today as you allow the Lord to minister to you on this Sunday.
Have a blessed day!
