Are You Resting?

Hustle. Grind. Make moves. We hear these phrases frequently as it pertains to meeting goals, advancing and becoming successful in life. And although doing these things are not bad or wrong in and of themselves, I think it is very important to add yet another important word to the list. Rest.

Scripture encourages us to rest. Jesus tells us Himself in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”

Jesus knows us. He knows that we may get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. He knows that we may get overwhelmed physically. He knows that we may get overwhelmed mentally. In that, He is telling us to come to Him and rest.

Let us try not to get out of balance. Sure work hard. Sure strive to be excellent. But please, don’t forget to rest.
