Genesis 2: 2-3 “And on the seventh day God finished his work
that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he
had done. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested
from all his work that he had done in creation.”
I recently saw the cutest picture of a kitten that had
fallen fast asleep right in the middle of his bowl of food. Thank goodness it was dry food! That’s the thing about animals, they are much
better at resting when their bodies need rest. Their priority is
self-care. We push on past fatigue until
we wear ourselves down. Right at the first of God’s Word we are given an
example to emulate. We’re to interrupt
our cycle of work with a time of rest. Sometimes
it’s easy to feel guilty when we take time for ourselves. Yet if we work hard
when we work, we deserve some down time and we need it. Ask God to help you find a healthy balance
between work, rest and play.
When I relax, Lord I wonder what else I should be
doing. Help us to find time for rest and
rejuvenation. In Christ’s name we pray, amen.
Be blessed today,
Paige
