Psalms 127:2 (NLT), “It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones.”

I know many of you are out there chasing those dreams God has placed on your hearts. Congratulations for going out there and working towards your goals. It is what you are called to do. Sometimes you can get so focused on reaching those goals you want to keep working as hard as you can. But wait, before you run yourself into the ground please realize there is something else God wants you to do, and that is rest.

Yes, contrary to what you may hear from others, rest is necessary. When you are continuously on the go you can wear yourself down without realizing it. At that point, your decision making is not as sharp and you aren’t performing at your best. This could delay you in reaching your goals.

Even our Lord took a day of rest after creating the universe. I think if God found it important to rest then it’s something you should also do. Rest provides you the opportunity to recharge yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

So take time for yourself to recharge and rejuvenate so you can continue to push towards the blessed life God has for you.
