Rest
Sometimes life can be exhausting. We have many tasks to accomplish each day. Often we can have such a huge amount of responsibilities that we neglect to rest. Fatigue can drain our energy and make it difficult to function. When our bodies are tired we need to take time to replenish our vitality. We need to rest. It’s amazing how much better we can feel after a good night’s sleep or even a short “power” nap.
When we’re weary, it’s more than physical exhaustion. Weariness involves a sense of burden in our soul.
Thankfully, Jesus promises that he will give us rest when we come to Him.
Matthew 11:28-30 (Amplified Bible)
28Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]
29Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.
30For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good--not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.
