“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” (Ecclesiates 3:1)
“Hurriedness is not of the devil, it is the devil.” (Carl Jung)
How easy it is to get wrapped around the hecticness of our life. Becoming consumed with all the flurry of activity surrounding us.
It is that distraction, that busy-ness that keeps us pulled away from the things that are truly important. God is not asking us to run through our life at full throttle 24/7. Yes, believe it or not, we are human and we need that time to slow down and get our tanks refilled.
Even God rested on the last day of the week after the creation.
We are living our life for him and patterned after him. Even Jesus took time out to rest. Time alone spent in prayer and being refreshed, body and spirit.
“Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.” (Luke 6:2)
Be sure to leave those windows of time in prayer with God in your day. What better way to become refreshed than to consider the amazing things God has done for you.
Enjoy the weekend. Be sure to spend some of your time relaxing and spending time becoming truly refreshed — in prayer.
