REST FOR THE SOUL

This week take time to rest. Set aside time of the day or evening to take care of you. Do something that satisfies your heart and soul within the parameters of Godly living. Rest is important because it gives God the opportunity to replenish the emptied parts of you with his divine glory. Life is not always hustle and bustle, life is also the Sabbath, time designated to enjoy the fruits of your labor, time designated to rest from your hard work, and time designated to allow yourself to be filled with the Holy Spirit of God.

We so often over give of ourselves in our home life, our goals, our work, our family, our friends and whatever else comes along with our life’s purpose that we forget to give to ourselves, this week take time for you by allowing an area of your life to be about resting your soul. What good is soul for the works of the Kingdom if that soul is weary, tired and burnt out. God designed rest for a reason, he knew that the elements that make up the human being are not designed to go, go, go. God knew that at some point the human being in its’ physical, mental, spiritual and emotional state would need time to rest and be rejuvenated and replenished in him.

Mark 6:31…And he (Jesus) said to them (12 Disciples), Come you yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going and they (12 Disciples) had no leisure (free time from work/relaxation) so much as to eat.
