A much needed reminder –
Sometimes my life is just too busy and I can feel a burnout coming but that’s when I have learned to rest in Jesus. When I have spent time with Him my heart and mind stop focusing on the business and begin to focus on the goodness of God.
This is such a necessary part of our walk. Many times we don’t realize that it’s in the secret and quiet place with the Lord that we draw our greatest strength.
This is when we refill our oil.
Isaiah 28:12
This is a resting place, let the weary rest.
Maybe it’s been a quiet season. Maybe it’s been a sitting season.
In the stillness He is renewing you. Life has burned you out. You are so weary that the day to day overwhelms you.
Don’t lose heart. Rest in Jesus today.
We can all look around our lives and see people who are tired and weary; they are fighting battles we don’t even know. Let’s come beside them and help carry their load. So many people try and do things on their own, because that is all they have ever known, Jesus changes that. We do not walk alone. You were never meant to carry those heavy burdens.
In Matthew 11:29 Jesus said these words:
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.
When we get connected with Jesus our burdens are no longer ours. When we are truly connected to Jesus we find rest for our weary and tired soul.
Today lay your burden at the feet of Jesus.
