I Choose Rest

We are all tired and busy. Biblically, it's not as hard to rest as we would think. Do less stuff. Busy is not ok.
Mt 11:28-30 "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." Rest for your soul.
1. Rest begins with knowing Jesus. "Come to me" Jesus wants me to know him, intimately. Take time to bask in the Lord and his glory. Ps 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God." Lk 10:38-42 Mary and Martha
2. Rest involves trusting Jesus. "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." Ps 39:6-7
3. Rest involves sabbath. Mt 12:8 Spend time and do things to get to know God. Stop doing, and just BE. Unplug from technology.
4. Rest involves rest. Mk 6:30-31 Physical rest is important.
