National Resting Month

I think dear Brin has it right. We really should make January National Resting Month.

Resting is a good thing, in more ways then one. Resting rejuvenates the body, the soul and the mind.

It allows the cares of the day and life to settle, and energy to renew.

It allows the Holy Spirit room to speak, room to work.

Resting is God's gift to us, something He Himself did (Genesis 2:2), something He commanded us to do (Exodus 20:8-11), something He knew was so necessary, so vital.

"In repentance and rest you shall be saved. In quietness and trust is your strength" Isaiah 30:15 (italics mine)

So, lets take this month with all it's resolutions and busy-ness and lets remember that it is also a month of renewal and renewal starts with being rested.

Be rested, and be renewed.
