Live in Rhythm

I used to feel guilty for resting. I thought if I wasn’t constantly working, I was falling behind. But then I hit a wall—physically, emotionally, spiritually. I remember sitting with the Lord, exhausted, and hearing Him whisper, “You weren’t meant to run at the world’s pace.” That’s when He began teaching me about rhythm—about grace, margin, and Spirit-led focus. It changed everything.

God didn’t call you to burnout. He called you to build with Him. And His way is grace-paced.

In Matthew 11 in the Message translation, Jesus said, “Come to Me… learn the unforced rhythms of grace.” His rhythm includes rest. Presence. Creativity. Connection. That’s why the Core4 isn’t just a framework—it’s a spiritual rhythm to help you walk in peace and fruitfulness.

Galatians reminds us: if we live by the Spirit, let’s also keep in step with the Spirit. That means daily checking in—not just with your to-do list, but with your heart.

God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). If your life feels chaotic, maybe it’s time to reset the rhythm.

Reflection Question:
Where have you drifted out of alignment with God’s pace for your life?

Prayer Prompt:
Jesus, realign my steps. I want to walk in Your rhythm—not the world’s expectations.
