Rest Is Required

Greetings to all, may God give us the inner strength to keep going through this weekend and this life without burnout.

If we are going to finish strong and avoid burnout, rest is required. We know that we need to rest but tend to find ourselves longing for and trying to acquire more of the things of this world.

However, God requires us to rest and relax, and He even promises that we can find it in Him.

Psalm 62:5 (NCV)

5 I find rest in God; only he gives me hope.

1 Kings 19:4 (GNB)

4 Elijah walked a whole day into the wilderness. He stopped and sat down in the shade of a tree and wished he would die. "It's too much, LORD," he prayed. "Take away my life; I might as well be dead!"

Lesson: Before we become stressed and burned out, wanting to quit, or even give up on life, let us find the required rest we need in God.
