Sunday Inspiration: You Must Rest

 
You Must Rest
 
Exodus 34:21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.”
 
As believers we spend a lot of time taking care of everyone and everything.  Some do this because it is just the right thing to do, while others chase fame and fortune.  The problem is we don’t always take time to spend with God and take care of ourselves.  While God’s Word does say, “If a man doesn’t work, he should not eat.”, He knows we need rest.  Our Father does not want us to go overboard with work.
 
When we overwork ourselves, no matter how important the work may be, we have a tendency to lose focus of what is most important.  The work can be for humanitarian purposes, money, or accolades.  When we work too much, our relationship with God suffers.  When our relationship with God suffers  all of our relationships suffer.
 
We must always find time for God.  When we find time for God, He will give us rest.  If God instructs us to rest, who are we to argue with Him?  Take time for yourselves because if you are tired and worn down, there is no way you can help anyone else.
