Matthew 11:28
Come to me, all you who are
weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
I am the type of person that
just goes and goes and goes until I crash.
At which point, I tend to crash hard.
With the holidays, this was no exception. By the end of last week, I found myself
battling a headache and just wore out. I
knew it was time to find rest. The thing
is, we were getting ready to leave for the weekend so I really didn’t have time
for resting. That’s when I came across this
verse. I’ve read it many times before,
it wasn’t new. But it hit me. Last week we celebrated the birth of Christ,
and right after I got super busy with work and getting the house prepared for
new flooring. I was failing to take the
time I needed in my devotions and had grown weary and burdened.
At that point, I stopped and
took a little time to find rest in Christ by being in the word. Thankfully I can look forward to some
additional physical rest this next week as I take PTO and spend time with my
son who is on his winter break but in that moment, it was the recharge of some
scripture that was really needed.
Have you gotten so busy that
you have failed to rest in the Lord’s word?
I encourage you today to not let yourself grow too weary. Remember to go to the Lord and he will give
you rest.
