In our hectic lifestyles today, how often do we take the time to rest? I know this is one area in my life I struggle with. Work and study commitments leave little time for leave.
Hebrews 4 speaks about rest and what I see here is that it is a complete rest. In body, soul and Spirit we need to get ourselves to a place of rest.
Our body needs rest in order to regain physical strength from our bustling activities as well as the all important need to destress. Our soul (mind, will and emotions) need time for reflection and emotional healing.
Most of all we need Spiritual rest and this won't just happen with a nap. Spiritual rest speaks more of resting from striving. So many times we fight battles that we should best leave to God because we are afraid it won't get done on time.
God knows your needs. Caste your burden on him. Put it on the back burner in your mind and allow God the time and space to do what he needs to do. Trust in him, he will never leave you!
