Rest

Genesis 2:2-3

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.  Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

This week was “retreat” week for my department.  It is a very long week full of lots of team building and professional development.  By about mid-week, we are all getting tired.  Come Friday, we are all completely drained. 

I’m sure you have a time that you can relate to this feeling.  The Bible even tells us that the Lord, after working hard to create the world and all that is in it, needed to rest. 

Brothers and sisters in Christ, how often do you take time to rest and refresh yourself?  We live in a world that is always on the go.  While we may have a couple of days off during a week, we rarely fill it with rest.  Instead we have different stuff that we have to get done.


I want to encourage everyone to find some time, even if brief, to take time to truly rest.  To reconnect with themselves and with God.
