Rest isn't the opposite of training, it's essential to it.
"He said to them, 'Come away by yourself to a remote place and rest for a while.' For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat." —Mark 6:31
The disciples returned from ministry exhausted, and Jesus invited them to rest. He modeled this often, stepping away to pray and recover before major decisions and demanding seasons. Recovery didn't interrupt His mission, it prepared Him for it.
Don't wait for exhaustion before seeking rest. This week, guard time for prayer, Scripture and reflection. These rhythms prepare us to re-engage life's challenges with greater strength and dependence on God.
Where can you step away, this week, to create rest for God’s Spirit to refresh, realign and
prepare you?
