“Rest”
WE’VE BECOME SO BUSY THAT WE ARE…
OUT OF SHAPE…
OUT OF SORTS…
OUT OF TOUCH…
OUT OF ORDER…
IT’S TIME FOR A “COME TO JESUS” MEETING
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and
I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn
from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you
will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my
burden is light.” —Matthew 11:28-30
WE HAVE TOO MANY THINGS TO DO!
1) SOME THINGS NEED TO BE
Moses' father-in-law replied, “What you are doing is not
good. You and these people who come to you will only
wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you
cannot handle it alone.” —Exodus 18:17-18
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will
fulfill the law of Christ. —Galatians 6:2
2) SOME THINGS NEED TO BE
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried
and upset about many things, but only one thing is
needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not
be taken away from her.” —Luke 10:41-42
“Be still, and know that I am God…” —Psalms 46:10
raphah (raw-faw’); to slacken; to allow to sink, to
let drop. Modern translation: drop it.
What do you need to add to your “to don’t” list?
3) EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE
My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes
from him. —Psalms 62:1
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you… —Psalms 55:22
shalak (shaw-lak); cast, hurl, throw.
What radical change do you need to make?
