Need A Little Rest?

Let's face it, we live to fast. We never slow down to smell the roses. We never take time to relax and when we want to we can't because "we have to much to do". We need to relax and rest but where can we find rest in such a fast world? No one will take a rest.

Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message)

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me--watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

Wow! That seems straight forward! So if I'm reading that correctly then all we have to do to rest is go to Jesus. He says, "Come to me." That's all it takes!!! Life can be an emotional crazy thing. We can be burned out on day to day life. The good thing is we can come to Jesus and we can find the rest we need and want. Wow! That is so awesome!

Ways to Find Rest By Coming to Him:
1. PRAY!
When you pray you are reaching a new connection with God. It's very important for any Christian to pray daily. Also you can give Him everything when you pray.
2. READ THAT BIBLE!
When you read your bible you learn more about God. When you learn more about God you can know how to handle certain problems/situations. When you can do that...life is good and you are way more relaxed.
3. Fellowship
God puts certain people in your life for a reason. Maybe it's your pastor or a best friend. Whoever it is...talk to them. Fellowship with them. It helps a lot.
4. BE THANKFUL!
Thank Him for everything. Thank Him that you can find rest in Him. He gives you that for free. He deserves the thanks for all that He does for us.
