SATURDAY, 24TH JANUARY 2015 MORNING DEVOTION . POWER OF REST PART 1 TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Jesus said, Come off by yourselves; lets take a break and get a little rest. For there was constant coming and going. They didnt even have time to eat. (Mark 6:31MSG) More often than not we just work and work and do not know when to give our bodies the necessary rest. It is good to be hardworking, industrious and very diligent at work, but it’s equally important to understand that the human body has a limit of exertion it can endure and stretching it beyond that limit subjects it to unnecessary wear and tear. It is therefore, important to take very good care of your body, not only in things you eat and do to your body, but also in making sure your body is well rested. The Bible tells us that God blessed and sanctified the seventh: “because that in it He had rested from all His work....” (Genesis 2:3). The Lord Jesus as indicated in the opening scripture took time to rest in spite of His tight schedule. The passage above shows how He taught His disciples the habit of resting. He not only taught them the essence of night rest but also resting during the day. In Mark 4:38 we learn that He rested His body in sleep when He got tired, “And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow:...”. TODAY’S RESPONSE Imbibe the habit of taking time to rest so you do not over burden yourself and Watch out for Part 2 of this teaching in our evening devotion.
