Aaah. Spring Break. When you get back from your busy vaca schedule, do you ever feel like you need a vacation... again? Whew. I need myself a day off to regather myself and rest from my week of so-called resting. Don't get me wrong. I love and need that time of getaway, especially when it involves visiting family you only see a few times a year. Some of them, only once, depending on who can come visit you. But a day of vaca after vaca is just what ya need sometimes.
That got me to thinking about God's vacation days. Let's see. He's been around since, like, forever... so. How many days has He taken to rest? As far as I know, just the one, right? Surely He doesn't sit back and watch us squirm so He can zone and tune us out for a week or two per year... Right?
Vacation isn't the only thing that can wear us out. If you are not a church-goer, then you might just be tired of all the "say" that Christians have with no "do." And if you're a Christian, you may be burnt out on all the trivial things that you can get caught up in inside the church doors. No matter who you are, or what you're worn out from, here's a passage for you:
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.
-Matthew 11:28, The Message
Walk and talk with Him. Learn HIS way of doing things. Not the church's or the world's.
Rest up! Much love, Tara K
