Rest And Renew Your Strength And Spirit

A famous doctor, Dr. John M. Palmer of Emerge Counseling Services, often gives church pastors and leaders a leadership health seminar. In a personal assessment, one of the survey questions at one seminar was "I intentionally schedule, on a regular basis, time alone, during which time I can unplug from work, family, and friends in order to rest, renew, reflect, read, recreate, etc." Would you tick the 'yes' box or 'no' box? God wants us to live a balanced life. God wants us to have rest in him. Rest does not only renew our spirit and strength, but it also is one of the fundamental teachings of our faith and trust in God.

Prayer: Father Lord, you are my provision. Thank you for giving us a ministry, family, and job. Help us to intentionally schedule our time alone with you, rest and trust in you. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
