Rest, Good For The Mind, Body And Soul…
Good morning beautiful people, good morning. Happy Sunday! Today is day seven of living our best year yet! By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. (Genesis 2:2) God himself rested.
I am a fast-paced individual. I can pack a lot in a day. How about you? If the creator of the universe needed rest, I bet we should follow his example and have a day of rest too. Rest is good for the mind, body and soul. It keeps us strong. Along with the Word of God, we win.
Maybe today you are weary, you can’t figure things out. Maybe you ponder how it will all work out. God has a plan and it’s a good one. He created the world in six days, that’s a pretty big feat. I think we should follow his example. We all have things going on in our lives. God calls us to rest in him. He tells us to come to him, all you who are weary and burdened, and he will give us rest. Take his yoke upon us and learn from him, for he is gentle and humble in heart, and he tells us in him we will find rest for our souls. For his yoke is easy and his burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30).
I am taking on his yoke, how about you? He gives us strength for every day.
Let’s Pray:
Father, thank you that that 2024 is our best year yet! We rest in your arms, the arms of a living God, loving Father and gives us his covenant promises.
Father, thank you for refreshing, renewing, strengthening our mind, our body, our soul and our spirit today as we worship and rest in you.
Father, thanks for drawing us, calling us, teaching us and strengthening us. No one can come to you unless the Father who sent Jesus, draws them. Draw many today by your spirit we pray and draw us closer as we draw close to you. (James 4:8)
As your days, so shall your strength be. Deuteronomy 33:25
