Resting Isn't Being Lazy

Even music has a rest in it sometimes. Thought I’d add a music example today. Ha! Imagine if there weren’t any though.

Let’s think about rest for a minute and how important it is for everyone to take time out of their lives for rest. An acrostic of the word REST could be Repair Eat Sleep Time.

You can’t work nonstop without it taking a toll on your body. If you desire to have a good life, learn to rest. If you don’t eat right, that too will totally mess you up. It will cause pain and distress…who needs that?

Going to bed at a decent time each night will give your body time to recharge for the next day. I’m not a fan of zombies. Something we all have is time. How we use it is a whole other story. Time away to rest can be invigorating and give you that energy you need to turn the page that’s been holding you back.

Get it out of your head that if you take time to REST, you are being lazy. That just isn’t true. It is one of those things you’ve been taught. Like the saying, “If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean!” You don’t always have to be so busy.

God doesn’t want you stressed out spiritually either. We just need to listen to His teachings and learn from Him. If you do that, You WILL find rest.

I like that word and what it means to me physically, mentally and spiritually. REST!!

Matthew 11:29 NLT

[29] 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. #helpforyourdailywalk #paulaandthebible
