It’s good to be a go-getter; a doer. Someone who gets things done. You are an asset to any team. You are needed in the kingdom of God.
Always doing, going, accomplishing can be hard on the body, the mind, and the soul. No one can go, do, be constantly. You need rest.
Make sure you take time to rest, rejuvenate, and repair. It isn’t healthy to keep going and going like the Energizer Bunny. God didn’t mean for you to not get rest. In fact, He rested:
“On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work.”
Genesis 2:2 NLT
“The apostles returned to Jesus from their ministry tour and told him all they had done and taught. Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone.”
Mark 6:30-32 NLT
Be intentional with your rest. To rest is to get yourself back to where you are 100% you. So you can give more of yourself to those who need you. As a Child of God, rest should become a priority in your life. Because God needs His warriors to be strong.
“The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.”
Psalms 23:1-2 NLT
