The necessity of resting

“And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:3

There is always temptation to continue to push towards targets and forget about resting. We need to remind all hard workers that resting is part of work. When we fail to give our body adequate rest, we expose it to unnecessary attacks. Nothing on earth is made to work non-stop even your body as well. Most of us take care of our properties more than we take care of our bodies. A man of God advised that one should rest in order to avoid being laid to rest. We are always excited to achieve our goals and take on another one but we must also remember that we should not damage our bodies on the way.

The bible says even God rested from His work on the seventh day. So you think you are a super human and can handle everything without resting. You must think twice because you cannot be more super than God. If God needed to rest, you too definitely need to rest. You may not do it every seventh day but make sure you always get adequate rest for your body.

May God give you wisdom to take care of your body for long life on earth.

Prayer for today: I refuse to be foolish in dealing with my body, I shall not die before my time in Jesus name.
