Notes

We seem to constantly feel anxious, overwhelmed, and exhausted.

Without the margin that regular rest brings, we wreck ourselves.

“Being busy is often seen as a badge of honor and a marker of self-worth, with a lack of leisure time viewed as a direct indication of status. However, over-scheduling yourself can negatively affect your emotional and physical health, as well as your ability to maintain healthy relationships.”

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you REST. Take my yoke on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble heart…

…and you will find REST for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and my load is not hard to carry.

Resting, Recharges.

We want the blessings of Jesus but sometimes without the lifestyle of Jesus

Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was in the boat. There were also other boats with him.

Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples wok him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

…because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some REST.”

If Jesus practiced a rhythm of rest — shouldn’t we?

Human-Being: DO vs Human Doing: BE

Badge of Busyness:

The habit of rest is necessary for wholeness.

Regular rest is a reminder that there’s a good God who is in control — and it’s not us.
