Resting In Him, Is Not Lazy

There is always too much to do! In our hurried and frenzied world we run around preparing, cooking, cleaning and so many other things that we can’t even imagine what it would be like to sit down and enjoy the company of others.

Serving others and meeting their needs is a great thing, but so is taking a break to refocus and recognize what’s really important.

Martha was basically accusing Mary of being lazy, but the truth was that Mary was focusing on being in the presence of God.

God gives us abilities and talents and wants us to be productive, but not at the expense of time to rest and enjoy fellowship with Him. That’s not being lazy. It’s healthy and it refreshes our spirit.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (Matthew 11:28-29)

Be Intentional about resting in Jesus

Praises & Prayers

Father, thank you for the invitation to rest in You and the promise of peace that we will receive when we do. Help us to recognize what is truly important and intentionally make time to spend with You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
