Sometimes you wonder why you feel so worn out, even after you rest your body. The reason for this is the weight of your soul. When you choose to carry burdens in your own strength, and forget to cast your cares on Jesus, the load becomes too heavy for any human to bear. So rest your physical body; physical rest is certainly important. Allow your soul to enter My rest and you will be truly refreshed in spirit, soul, and physical body.
Galatians 6:9
"So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing, if we don't give up."
Exodus 33:14
"The Lord replied, 'I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest.....everything will be fine for you."
Mark 6:31
"Then Jesus said, 'Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.' He said this because there were so many people coming and going, that Jesus and His apostles didn't even have time to eat."
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I don't want to refuse Your invitation to rest, yet I realize I often do. Help me discern when I am carrying cares I need to cast on You. Show me how to balance work and rest in my life, so I can walk in Your refreshing presence throughout the day.
