Matthew 11:28-29
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Outside today it is dark and grey. As I look out my window, I think of two things. One is depression over such a dreary overcast day. The other thought is one of rest.
Stormy days tend to make me slow down. Yes, as I said before that can make you think of yucky and depressing emotions. However, what if the opposite were true? What if you turned those days into days of slowing down for the sake of slowing down?
We were never meant to go a hundred miles a day, all day, and every day. No, we burn out when we try to take on the world all by ourselves. If God took a day after creating the world to take a rest, what makes you think you don’t need rest?
We all have jobs to do. We were never meant to do them alone. God wants to be there every step of the way to help ease the load. He also wants to give you rest along the journey. All you have to do is take the pit stops in life and find a moment to breathe instead of worrying about the road ahead.
Lord, remind me to stop and rest and not get anxious during the pit stops of my life. ~amen
