Take Time to Rest

Today is Sunday;We call it the Lord's Day.
We rush, rush rush all week long, to meet
deadlines and get everywhere on time,
Sunday's should be a day of REST -
(WOW what and idea, I wonder Who first thought of that) lol!

A day of reflection of what we need to change within ourselves for next week's challenges. I see more and more in people with the need to have control, instead of just relaxing, smile, pray, SING and Enjoy more out lof life. Everone wans to be number 1.
Constant challenges and competitions. Where did our generations go wrong? Did it start with Adam and Eve, or is a time thing that over the years, we have tried to clutter more and more into our lives. The earth is still revolving at the same speed it did when God placed it here, but here we are, are we trying to out run the earth's rotation! A Day of rest, what constitutes a day of rest?
Is a day of total do nothing all day, is a day of rest in your mind, in away forgetting that the rest of your life exists for one day, and worry about it tomorrow when it all begins again?
When The Psalmnist wrote, Lead me beside still waters,
( say that again softly, LEAD ME BESIDE STILL WATERS)
was he just talking about once! OR a daily occurance! I believe we have that opportunity each day, to take a deep breathe, look at the sunrise and thank the Lord, for His mercies! Sit still with Him, and let Him see your heart as you present yourself in prayer to Him.

So I have come to conslusion, that Sunday is God's day, and a family day, where we wake up and focus on His Glory maybe more than we do all week for some, but we place our weary minds in His capable hands and focus on His throne of Grace, and we sit and refuel ourselves in His Worship and spend the rest of our day resting with our family's and allow our minds and bodies to take refuge in His Beautiful Grace. So why can't we do this everyday? Take a break! Sit in a park and breathe some clean air, Walk through a garden and meditate on a scripture,
Sit in the morning during the sunrise and just think how amazing our God is! Jesus took breaks, He went alone to the Mountain side to talk with the Father. Take a break with Jesus!

Praying for peace and abundance of joy in each of you this day, and that we all learn to accept that we are children of a Heavenly Father, who desires for us to be at peace without worry, who desires for us to have Joy without conditions and to share His love with others through a warm smile, a caring heart and inviting Spirit!
