God provides for you a time to rest and come away long enough to be fresh. Remember, the most tragic mistakes in the Bible have occurred in times when godly men—leaders, no less—took on too much, worked too long, got too tired, stretched themselves too thin, or got so caught up in their circumstances that they failed to hear the still small voice of the Lord.
Resist the temptation to burn your rest time during this season in worthless pursuits. TVs, computers and sometimes even books and magazines and one more item on the to-do list can take the place of the sleep we need to fight for. These coming days will be for us, like Elijah, time to rest and eat, rest and eat…drawing our strength from the Word until we can pull ourselves together for a long hike to the mountain! Instead of letting us wander alone in the desert full of fear and feeling whipped, God sends the angels right to where we are, and in mercy and compassion He restoreths our soul. Rest, friends, and eat.
Scripture Of The Day: "And He said to them, [As for you] come away by yourselves to a deserted place, and rest a while--for many were [continually] coming and going, and they had not even leisure enough to eat." – Mark 6:31 (AMP)
