Jesus, Tell Me How To Rest.

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

Do you know what to do with this verse?

Seriously. Jesus is offering us to come and find rest in Him. Do we know how to rest anymore?

I don’t know about you but rest makes me feel LAZY. Here’s an equation…

Becky + Resting = Something isn’t getting done

The Type A++ in me rebels against rest.

All this springs up in me from a long night’s sleep. I rarely get a great night’s sleep. But this morning I woke very refreshed and, well, rested.

Pouring my coffee, I could hear Jesus plea in Matthew 11:28. His Word quietly speaking to my soul.

Come to me….and I will give you rest.

But how, Jesus? Does that mean sleeping? Does that me slowing down? Does that mean changing nothing – only my focus?

Do you know how to respond to Jesus’ invitation? Come to me. I will give you rest.

Ponder that this morning. Give me your thoughts.

We’ll look deeper next time.
