Remember to Rest

It's Saturday night and we'd normally be at church right now. It's become routine, but one that we look forward to each and every week. Getting together with other WSFC church members is always refreshing and worshiping the Lord as one body is amazing.

Instead, my wife is sick and one of my boys is on the other side of town. So, we stayed home from church tonight. We're hoping to go to one of the Sunday morning services, but tonight we're focusing on gathering our kids under one roof, getting something to eat and going to bed. It's time for rest.

Even if life has us running in 5 directions at once- and at 100 miles per hour, we're supposed to rest. Even God did this after creating our universe. What's more, we are to rest in Jesus. Hit the pause button on your busy life, set down your burdens, worries and sickness and really rest.

Exodus 20:9-11

Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Matthew 11:28 (New International Version)

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Good Night
