Day 24 of Thankfulness

Day 24 of Thankfulness –

Today I’m thankful for rest.

Exodus 33:14 “The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

As I go throughout my day, my week, my month, and my year, I tend to get busier and busier and eventually my body just wears out. But God promises to give us rest and to go with us wherever we go.

I’m willing to give of myself to my family, my work, my church, my friends, and the community until I’m just a mere skeleton of myself. I become irritable and worn down, desiring to hide under a rock so no one can find me. Yet, as I know God desires for me to do everything as I’m doing it for Him and not for man, I also know that includes rest. And when I take the Lord up on His offer for Rest, I find replenishment for my mind, body and soul.

Lamentations 3:22-23 “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

Work hard at all you do, and get rest as the Lord loves to give rest to us.
