Rhythm of Rest: Following Jesus' Pace in a Busy WorldNäide

In the world of running, pace is all about finding a consistent rhythm to help run farther and longer. To “dwell in the house of the Lord forever” is not a hurried life. It is a life that intentionally chooses to grow and walk with Jesus consistently. Keeping pace with Jesus means watching the way that he lives and matching it step by step. Jesus says it clearly in Matthew 11:28-30–come to him, follow him, learn from him, and find rest.

Staying connected to Jesus leads to a slow and steady growth which leads to a productive life. When we live the pace of Jesus by staying connected to him, the people around us will know and see that we are his disciples. This way of living changes the trajectory of our lives and the lives of others. Go out, rest well, stay connected to Jesus, be changed, and change the world.
