God speaks today Wednesday | February 8, 2023

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. (Genesis 2:2)
And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. (Mark 6:31)

Times to rest

It is important for disciples to take breaks and rest in the Lord, as even Jesus took time to rest with his disciples. Life is not just about working for the Kingdom, but also about taking time to rest, spend time with family, and recharge. Pastors and leaders should also prioritize rest and time with their families, and churches should give their leaders time off for family activities. Growth systems that take advantage of people and lead to burnout should be avoided. It is important to have a balanced rhythm of work and rest to renew ourselves and give more to the ministry.
