You may have noticed my hiatus over the last two months.
It probably had something to do with the tiredness and busyness I mentioned in my last post.
And yet, the reality is that I dropped the ball on my writing as much because of mis-prioritization as busyness. Isn’t that the way it is sometimes? It feels like we have gotten extra busy (and perhaps we have) but the truth is that in our preoccupation with duties, obligations, distractions and other’s expectations, it is entirely possible to miss the mark of what is truly most important in life.
This last Sunday I preached on the Sabbath rest that is available to the people of God. Indeed He offers us rest and if we will accept His offer we will not only discover peace (and quiet) for our busy and at times chaotic lives but we will also find inner peace and a thankfulness for all God has done and even now offers to us.
So, let us make sure to rest when we need it, get some time off if the load becomes too heavy (or if we have been distracted from what really is most important) so that after some time away, we can return to our calling, pursue all that God has for us and rest in the knowledge that He provides all that we need for living a holy life.
I am so thankful that in the midst of all of my shortcomings, inadequacies, and weaknesses, God’s grace is sufficient for everything!
Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Colossians 3:2
So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. Hebrews 4:9
