Sometimes in
life we forget to rest from the demands of life which allows life to consume
your strength, time, and energy. But my friend you must make time to rest, recuperate,
and position yourself to receive clear direction for what is next. Ask the Lord what is next for your
life, or better yet ask him to help and direct you into the rest He has for
your life. It is necessary for us all to get the proper amount of physical rest;
however your mental rest is just as important; your physical body may be resting
but your mind is going haywire which causes restlessness and fatigue. It’s time
for you to rest and recuperate your soul so that you will be positioned to receive clear
direction for what is next in your life.
Having clear
direction from the Lord takes your willingness to enter into his rest. So how
do you enter into God’s rest? You first
start by recognizing that you need rest (ask yourself “Am I physically and mentally
exhausted?” If so keep in mind that recognition is the ignition to change. Secondly
you want to get lost in God’s word: create time to study God’s word…Lunch breaks
are great starts), and thirdly enter into a hiding place with God (ask the Lord
to create a hiding place for you so that you can receive direction for what is next).
Sometimes in order for you to enter into God’s rest you must separate yourself
from people and things, because hearing God's voice ONLY will give you the directions that you need to guide you into the next phase of your life. Scriptures that will get you started: Hebrews 4, Psalm 62: 1, 2,
5-8.
Remember
Growth is intentional and you’re responsible for it. Take the time
Everyday~Grow Forward.
