Before the Cross: 7 Ways to Guard Your Heartគំរូ

6. Trust The Lord With Rest

We live in a culture that is so fast-paced, chances are you might have spent about 30 seconds on this plan, and then you’ll be off to the next one. Productivity is elevated above all else, and people are praised for getting things done. While we run around like crazy, we often forget this is bad for our hearts. We are also telling God we don’t trust Him in the process.

When we rest in the Lord (including taking a full day off), we are declaring our dependency on Him. We are admitting we can’t do life on our own. If you think about it, your body needs sleep for a third of the time you are even alive! Not only that, but how do you think you fall asleep or even wake up in the morning? That’s only because of the Lord.

Whether you need to start observing the Sabbath or just need to take a deep breath and let the Lord do the work instead of you, be encouraged to trust Jesus and rest. Let your heart rest. The yoke is easy…the burden is light.
