So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone.
- Mark 6:32 (NLT)
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.
I will be taking a break next week, much needed time away from everything.
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 encourage 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. ❤
