Daily Devontion- Rest and Renew

So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath-rest reserved for the [true] people of God; For he who has once entered [God's] rest also has ceased from [the weariness and pain] of human labors, just as God rested from those labors peculiarly His own.


Hebrews 4:9-10



We all have gifts and talents far beyond what we use, but many of us are so worn out that we do not feel like doing anything.  Even God rested from all of his labors, not because He tired, but to enjoy His creation( see Genesis 2:1-3). Stop working all the time, and enjoy yourself.


Even the land needs to rest every several years to produce good crops. If you do not rest you are going to cut down your production and stifle your creativity. You do not have to work at God's plan for you.; He will cause it to come to pass ( see Philippians 1:6) Rest in Him.
