Proper Rest

Proper Rest

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II on this Tuesday April 20, 2010. More than ever now we are too busy doing so much that we forget the simpler things in life and ignoring some of our necessities. We are constantly being pulled in seven different directions all at once. If it’s not the kids it’s the dog. If its not the dog is the husband or wife. I mean we even put so much into our careers and worked so hard that we forget to even eat that day. Then there are some that are so enthralled in what God has told them to do, they are so drained they’re about ready to pass out. Why are we treating ourselves like this? What are we doing? Rather what are we not doing? One of the most important things that we need to do, that we think is insignificant, is properly rest. You can be doing all of this hard work and pushing your feeble body to its limits and in the end not be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor due to the fact you didn’t let your body heal properly. Oh and I hear some of saying now” I’ll rest when I die”, well that may be sooner than later if you don’t give your body its restoration time. God has set this into the process of nature. We are defying nature’s natural order an hurting ourselves in the process. We can hit the grind hard, but at some point without the rest we need the grind will hit us just as hard. Of what help can you truly be to an organization or God’s purpose for you if you are only operating at about 75-80% all of the time? Why not get the proper rest at the proper intervals and work on the constant bases of 100%. Your rest is as just important as your work, remember that. So go ahead and schedule the proper resting time in your planner and then return to work revitalized and refreshed. Please read Mark 6:30-31 KJV

And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told Him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And He said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: For there were many coming and goin, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
