Have you ever been in great need of some rest and relaxation? Remember the old saying, “no rest for the weary”? A verse in Mark has helped me. Jesus speaks to His disciples and tells them to come and rest a while. The rest of the verse states that they didn’t have time to eat. We find ourselves involved in so much that we fill our time with stuff. At times, we fill our time with ministry. But if we fail to keep time to feed our spirit we awaken to find ourselves spiritually drained. We have all been guilty at one time or another to think we are too important to slow down. The truth is God given us permission to rest. Jesus Himself calls us to rest in Him. But the enemy that we are faced with will fill your time with many things. This attempt is to distract us from what is really important. Take a moment to rest with your Savior! Talk to Him in leisure. Then you will find that your sleep will be sweet.
