Rest - Ann Sneddon

I'm not very good at resting, I like to be busy and even when not physically working my mind is going a hundred miles an hour. But I know the importance of rest, to switch off and to relax. True rest is found in having time with God.

This week I felt God speak to me about the need to truly rest in him, its half term so I should have time. Naturally I have filled my week up with things to do but I am still seeking Gods rest. Even in the busyness God is still there. Seek time this week to simply be with him in whatever your doing.

R - READ (Read/listen to the Word, seek God, thank him)

E - EMOTIONS (Pray to God and give him our worries)

S - SILENCE (Silence our thoughts by listening to him)

T - TRUST (Trust in God, he holds the future)

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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30
