The Gift of Rest
I actually felt "bad" for sleeping in.
Ever feel that way?
It's silly, really.
We are commanded to rest, yet we too often buy into the pressures of the world to always be "busy". We neglect the limited opportunities to relish the moment of having no demands. We adopt the lie that to be STILL is to be LAZY. It's the "American Way." We're behind the curve, just barely starting to discover how to work SMARTER not harder. After much deterioration caused by the addiction to work- a broken society raising our kids, families being split, always focused on getting to the next level, achievement over relationship, striving for MORE.
We need a revival of rest, don't we?! Gonna get back to learning what scripture has to say about it in Hebrews 4
"So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. For all who have entered into Gods rest have rested from their labor, just as God did after creating the world. So let us do our best to enter that rest." (Heb 4:9-11)
So here it is, Sis...me echoing God's command to REST! Prioritize it. Put it in your time block. (More on the topic of time blocking in "Morning Motivation Routine") Intentionally schedule and adhere to a sabbath day (or night). Allow nothing but a severe emergency infringe on that time.
