Accept God’s Gift Of Rest

Accept God’s Gift of Rest

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.

Psalm 23:1-3

Sheep are by nature anxious animals.

Unless their shepherd makes them rest, they will continue to roam until the point of exhaustion.

Read the above verse again, and think about how God might be inviting you to rest your body today.

It could be through something as small as going for a slow walk, enjoying a bubble bath, eating a healthy dinner, or going to bed early.

Embrace this time of rest as a gift from God.
