We've had a pretty full week… How's yours been? It's Friday here, heading into the weekend, and I could really do with a big rest. Thing is, that rest is only going to get me through another few big days and then I'll need to rest again. You and I need something to sustain us through the busy seasons, the hard and long working seasons. There is much to do – on a Kingdom level but also on a personal level… Working hard is good – you are here for such as time as this (Esther 4). When you're stressed, anxious, worried, doubtful, afraid… It actually saps the energy out of you and working, doing anything, becomes tiresome and difficult. Your internal and mental health / state of mind, impacts heavily on your energy and endurance levels. Matt 11:28 says “Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” There is a rest that our souls can experience in the midst of hard work that will keep you energised and your endurance levels up. Don't worry about tomorrow but rest knowing that God is your provider, don't live in fear of disease or heartache, rest knowing that He is your healer, don't beat yourself and feed a low self esteem, let your heart rest knowing that you are loved by they saviour of the universe, who created you, has plans for you, and is so proud of you. In the busy seasons, let your heart and soul find rest in Jesus – let Him teach how to enter into that rest. Love you guys, enjoy the weekend. xo
