Rest Like the Lord


Rest Like the Lord

Do you ever just watch ants move? Hurry Hurry Hurry, scattering along, working on something. I don't know much about ants, but it surely seems as if they never sleep. Sometimes our lives can be just like ants. We have such long To-Do lists and try as we might, it never seems to end with tasks, chores, jobs, duties and so much more. Our responsibilities keep us in hurry mode, jumping from one assignment to the next. While we know the bible tells us that God loves those who work and are not idle, He also clearly instructs us to rest. Yes, ahhhh REST. The Sabbath day (which does not have to actually be on Sunday--hey, pastors usually take Monday!) is the assigned day to rest. The balance of work and rest is so important that God had to give us a clear instruction about it. He knows our minds race with our running lists, but He wants us to give ourselves quality rest so that we can keep these human bodies in tip top shape, rebooting and recooping, for His assignments. Do not forget that our Creator delights in His design of us. You are specially made. Remember and honor this by taking care of you.



"Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience."--Hebrews 4:11
We are better together.
Have a blessed day, Kimala DeSena

30 Day Self Care Challenge: Day TWENTY-NINE

Image
  30 Days of Self Care:  Day Twenty-Nine Emotional Self Care Emotional self care happens when we identify our feelings, allow ourselves to sit with them a while, then do something that will either support these feelings as you lean into them or exchange them for new feelings or emotions. For some moments, you will resonate with your emotions; while other times you may want to escape or avoid them. Learning to trust yourself in working through your feelings is possible. In this life, we will indeed make mistakes, but the magic happens when we walk through our scenarios, growing and maturing because of them. Sometimes, we envision ourselves doing the same things that seem to work for us, but there may be moments where you would like to envision something different. You may decide that you would like to equip yourself with a new toolset to prepare yourself when things go sideways or perhaps when you need a good dose of encouragement when things become sticky or  problematic.

Who Does God Say That I am? Day ONE: I am LOVED.

  SPIRITUAL SELF CARE Can you say this again please, in my good ear? I am loved. Truly loved. Deeply loved. Always and forever loved. Better yet, I am loved by my Creator.

You tell me that I am loved. PRAYER Lord, thank you for creating me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for handing over your son to this world to save us a place in eternity with you. I am grateful. I am refreshed today with this biblical truth, that no matter what happens today and forward, no matter who comes in and out of my life, no matter what, I will march forward, no skip gleefully forward, knowing how much I am truly loved by you. Thank you Father. Thank you for this knowledge. Today, I recommit my life to you by simply knowing that I am lo
