GOD GIVES US HIS REST

Psalm 127:2 (Nlt)

It is useless for you to work so hard 

from early morning until late at night, 

anxiously working for food to eat: 

for God gives rest to his loved ones.

It's easy to fall into the trap that says "If I don't do it, then nobody else will" and we're tempted to keep driving ourselves to do more and more.  Ever been there? The thing is, maybe some people need to learn that if we're not there then they will have to take responsibility, but while we keep doing it they never need to come up to the mark. 

It's always a good idea to ask God first if we should be taking on anything new or allowing someone else the opportunity to do some things we do at present.

We all like to be conscientious but if we carry it too far and never rest properly we can make ourselves not well, which is why our verse reminds us that God gives rest to his loved ones.

So this is just a gentle reminder that you are one of God's loved ones and today He wants you to give yourself permission to allow Him to give you His rest for a while. He's giving but are you receiving?

To start you off sit down, shut your eyes, take a few deep breaths and let the tension flow out and His peace flow in, and hear Him whisper in your ear that He loves you........receive His rest today.😊
