We are all proud of our work ethic - perhaps too proud. We tend to value our work and busyness so much that we forget how to be still enough to hear God’s quiet voice. We need leisure — not frenetic vacationing or compulsive recreational activities, but simple rest when we can unplug and think. Jesus says, “I will give you rest.” We may think he means eternal rest, but we don’t have to wait until we’re dead to enjoy it! Why not today? “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
