Reflection
Points:
Do you fight against your need for rest? Why?
Do you find yourself craving rest and rarely experiencing it?
Have you limited the scope of rest to just sleep, or recreation?
What can you say "no" to in order to make room for rest?
Power
Verses:
Deuteronomy 33:12, "Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him, for He shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between His shoulders." (NIV)
Isaiah 40:28-31, "The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths will grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall. But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (NIV)
Jeremiah 6:16, "So now the Lord says, "Stop right where you are! Look for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls." (NLT)
