Rest in Jesus
Good Evening. Today I took the time to rest my mind and my body. I did not have to go to work today. Yeah Me! Also, this was a day of rest from working out, so I took full advantage of it. Of course, I had a few things that I had to take care of, but for the most part, I did nothing today. When I say my body appreciates it! Yesssssssss!
We sometimes have the tendency to go and go without taking time to rest. Right now, I’m speaking in reference to our minds. Some of us have our to do lists of things we need to accomplish a day or sometimes during a week. That’s good because sometimes our lives are so busy, we need something to keep us on task. Then there are some of us that take the day as it comes. I’m a little of both.
Even in the midst of our busy lives, we need to take the time to rest in Jesus. When we rest in Jesus, we give him all of our cares and worries. We give him our to do lists, and for others we let him lead us through our day. Matthew 11:28-29 (NLT) says, “Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
There is nothing on your mind that God does not know about or he cannot help you get through. You have to trust him and rest in him. Have a Blessed Evening!
