Greg, John, and Pat share about the importance of taking time to rest. Sometimes we can be so busy even doing a good thing but still doesn’t mean we forego resting. Isaiah 28:12-13 says “This is the resting place, let the weary rest”; and, “this is the place of repose” but they would not listen. So then, the word of the Lord to them will become do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here and a little there so that they will go and fall backward be injured and snared and captured. This is exactly what happened to the revivalist Evan Roberts; he became so tired that he was lulled away and never heard from again. Taking a sabbatical always seems like it’s the worst time but that is more proof of the need to rest, recharge and be refreshed by the Lord.
