Joyful Rest



Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Maybe you need to set your “joy” alarm as a reminder! 

            Are you like me in that sometimes I have a hard time concentrating, simply because I’m so tired?  There are many things that demand our time.  Lots of you have young families and that in itself is a major responsibility.  If we have jobs outside the home, we have to give our best efforts to our employer.  There are church activities and civic organizations …and lots of other “good things”.

            Though our reasons are different, every one of us experiences weariness.  Our bodies get to the point where we crave rest. Whether it’s a job, family responsibilities or a major project that demands a lot of time and attention, we all know what it means to be tired.   

            Regardless of our age or stage of life, sometimes we find ourselves running in circles.  As in everything, we should seek God’s wisdom in determining His will and purpose for each day.  Sometimes He may simply want us to “rest” and get renewed in Him. Stay-at-home moms, it’s okay to rest while the baby rests.  Dads, a lunch break may be the time for a prayer and a nap!

            In Matthew 11: 28, Jesus tells us to “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” 
           
           If you find yourself weary and “heavy laden”, do as Jesus says and “Come to Him.”  He is waiting with arms open wide, to renew your spirit and fill you with His strength and JOY.
