Day 4 - Rest for the Body, Mind, and Spirit

God designed our bodies to need rest. If we push day after day with no sleep, our body will die. God provides more than rest for the body though. He promises refuge and strength for us. We have to come to Him though and seek His refuge and protection. It’s a natural human tendency to stay busy - the to-do list never ends and items are continually added every day. As Job tells us in Job 14, “Man who is born of a woman is few of days and full of trouble” (Job 14:1 ESV). Our days will trouble, this gives us another reason to stop and rest especially when our body is screaming at us to rest. 

Is your schedule booked up today? Full of to-do’s and work and house work? What can you pause from and seek rest with God instead? He will provide the rest your body, mind and spirit need. Schedule in your rest time with God and watch this become a much-needed habit.
