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.”
- Mark 6:31 (NIV)
Rest is mentioned multiple times in the Bible.
God rested, Jesus rested, the kings rested, even armies rested.
Rest is very important, humans simply are not made to go non-stop, we need rest.
We need to withdraw — not once-in-a-while, but often!
What is incredible is that Jesus invites His disciples (today that's us!) to withdraw with Him to a quiet place and rest with Him.
This isn't just about getting a good night's sleep, or a nap during the day; it's about taking time in the middle of our wild and crazy days to join Him for a few moments of grace, rest, and refreshment.
Today is August 1st, I am going to be taking rest for the next 20 days.
There ae going t be a few days where I won’t have access to the internet to write and post, so rather than stressing over whether I get emails sent and posts updated, I am going to rest.
I’ll be back before you know it, but while I am out I want you to continue to read the Word and spend time with Him.
Make daily stops in God's Word - take more time than quick e-mail viewing; let it be a time to withdraw with the Savior and take a few minutes of rest!
See you soon. ❤
