What does it mean to rest? Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 NIV.
To rest in Jesus is to be free from the anxieties of the world and to be at peace where you are. We rest our bodies when we sleep but who can really rest when their soul is tired? Sleep restores the body but Jesus restores the soul.
Give yourself 20 minutes to just sit and meditate on God’s word. Read a chapter in your bible, read a devotional, or just meditate on your favorite scripture. You might say, ” I don’t have 20 minutes to just sit!” That might be true but you have to make and prioritize time with Jesus daily if you want to experience His rest. After all he made time to die for you and your sins.
