Come ye yourselves apart and rest a while. Mark:6:31. My friend, are you a hamster on a wheel? When was the last time you enjoyed some relaxed, uninterrupted down time. Take a time out and relax and spend some time with your family- worship the Lord. Oh by the way, dont rest too much during the sermon either. When you are constantly multitasking important things can fall between cracks. Do you know rest periods are important even in the Bible. I like to say COME APART OR YOU WILL COME APART! I feel I am the only person who is not spending the whole time text messaging. Statistics say We get more information in 72 hours than our parents (previous generation) received in a month. The fact is that you and I need time away from the unrelenting onslaught of information to regroup, reflect, reflect, and renew. Dont feel guilty about it. Jesus had a schedule to keep, people to minister to, disciples depending on Him, and a short time to do it all. But ..but, Bible saysHe withdrew..into wilderness, and prayed-Luke 5:16. In Genesis God rested on the seventh day after six days of creating the world. I dont believe God was tired, but in doing so He set a pattern for us. In the 4th commandment Israelites were told that the Sabbath day is holy and no work has to be done. God even required the Israelites to give their farmland every 7th year off to rest (Exodus 23:10). While we were going for a vacation with my family driving, it was helpful to rest periodically in rest area. Bro: what an encouragement to know that our future in Heaven provides permanent rest from the heartaches, hurts, and sins of this life (Revelation 21:4). Take rest man REST. Did you hear? Good!
