R est. What happens when you hear that word? Do you immediately dismiss the idea, thinking it will never happen for you? After all, you think, my life is too busy for me to take a break and rest. Or does your heart cry out in longing? Does your body crave a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of your days? Does your entire being desperately desire rest?
These days, rest can seem elusive. It appears more like a mirage than something we can fully experience, and when we do experience some sort of rest, it often feels too short. In between deadlines at work, demanding schedules, young children, busy teens, elderly parents, friends, and bills that need to be paid, weve lost our ability to rest well. We are in overdrive. We run to and from meetings and obligations, scarfing down a hurried dinner. We say yes to volunteering in the community and serving at church because it feels wrong to say no. And we collapse on the couch at the end of the day, seeking nothing more than a way to numb our tired, aching brains. Does this sound familiar, friend?
There is good news. There is hope. There is restdeep, fulfilling, life-giving rest that you truly can have to the fullest. Yes, you.
If youre searching for a way to restif youre looking to satisfy the deep, God-given yearning in your soul and to quiet the buzzing in your mind that comes from too much activity and not enough downtimethis devotional is for you.
The Lord Jesus spoke candidly about the topic of rest. He knew that we humans would struggle over and over to get the rest we need. Thats why, in Matthew 11:2829, He said, Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls ( ESV ). Doesnt that sound wonderful? Jesus speaks truthand only truth. When He says He will give you rest, He means it. When He says you will find rest for your soul, you will.
So take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, and let your thoughts unwind. Before beginning this journey, ask the Lord to reveal Himself and His truth to you like never before. And ask Him to show you how to live a restful life 365 days of the year.
May you approach each day with renewed hope for rest. May you breathe deeply. May you grasp the life-changing importance of stillness. May you experience the Lord and His deep love for you. May you find rest for your soul.
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, L ORD , make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:8
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Psalm 51:12
H ave you thought about any New Years resolutions? They often include things like losing weight, quitting a bad habit, learning something new, getting out of debt, volunteering, or eating healthier. These are all wonderful goals, but theres one important item thats often overlooked when the clock strikes midnight and the year begins again: rest.
Sometimes we get so busy improving our lives and ourselves that we forget we need rest. Even the Lord rested at the end of His week of creation. As you ponder your resolutions, consider making this year about rest. Commit to spending quiet time with the Lord for fifteen minutes every morning. Try to find two hours of free time every weekend simply to reflect, relax, and rejuvenate. Instead of jetting around the world, why not spend your vacation at home?
Rest is not laziness, nor is it for the fainthearted; it is necessary. Rest is within your reach, and it can be yours this year.
Father God, as I begin another year, will You show me how to rest anew?
Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
Luke 5:16
R est doesnt just fall into your lap, and it wont tap you on your shoulder during a busy day. Rest, more often than not, needs to be sought out. It needs to be carved into each day, week, and month, and it needs to be intentional.
Think about your daily schedule. Do you have a slot specifically for rest? You may have a time for picking up the kids, attending book club, making dinner, or working, but is the word rest a foreign concept?
Todays culture is busy. Your life is busy. But that doesnt mean you cannot rest; it just needs to be added to your calendar. Just as you make time to see friends or go on a weekend getaway, rest needs to be scheduled. Try getting up fifteen minutes earlier to sit in the quiet. Instead of browsing social media, take a walk outside and breathe deeply. Seek rest, and you will be rewardedmind, body, and soul.
