Come and find rest in Him - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

Then Jesus said, "Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile." He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have time to eat. (NLT) Mark 6:31

This is always a busy time of year with graduations, visiting family, and working hard. We get focused, hustling and bustling about with little time for eating that we exhaust ourselves. It's important to go off to a quiet place to recharge yourself and rest awhile. Such a time is necessary to find rest in Jesus. When you sneak away, bring a verse with you to meditate and mull over. Perhaps it's only 15 minutes, but the peace you will find is like none other. Come and find rest in Him.

Take time for you. It is good to pray, but better still to sit in quiet and listen for the answers. Get out of your own way, so your God can speak through you instead of around you.

Are you so busy listing your demands and insisting that they be met, that you forget to be quiet, and listen for God's good orderly direction.

As one of my favourite Bible Verses says (I think it was on a post this week), "Be still and know that I am God."
