And He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while." (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.) - Mark 6:31
Rest means to cease work or movement in order to relax, sleep, or recover strength.
We are Spirit being but we live in a container which is our body. To function on this earth, we need our body. A healthy body is necessary for you to excel on this earth.
Even Our Lord Jesus understands the importance of rest, we can not and shouldn't underestimate the importance of Rest. After working for some time, we should learn to rest our body. We shouldn't be spiritually minded that we are physically weak.
In John 4:6, the Bible told us that Jesus was weary after walking on a journey, and He rested. Many people deceived themselves that because they are going about doing the work of God, they don't need to rest. It's a wrong notion. Even God rested after creation. We rest so as to regain our strength.
Fatigue will slow you down in doing the work of God. Sickness and ill health will be an hindrance to you enjoying your blessings on this earth. We must learn to respect the biological clock. What you can do when you are younger might not be easy for you to do as you grow older. If your body doesn't have adequate rest, it will break down.
Exodus 34:21 says "You shall work six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest." God commanded Rest for the people. It a must by law for you to rest.
Yes we can do all things through Jesus that strengthen us but how can you be strengthen if you don't rest enough in the grace of Our Lord Jesus.
The importance of body rest can not be over emphasis. Health is wealth... are you tired, worn out or weary? Pease go get some rest!
It's a blessed day for you, any work you do that is affecting your health, God will give you a better work/business.
Good Morning and have a glorious day... 😉
