Mark 6:31, “And He said to them, ‘Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while’." For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.” In an era where “hyper-tasking” is normal, it is easy to overlook the value of rest. Part of honoring God with your body is getting the appropriate rest. In this scripture, Christ recognized that the focus of His disciples had been serving and helping. He instructed them to find a quiet place to rest.
How do you find time to rest in the middle of a busy schedule? Find a place and make the time. Go to your big chair, your couch, your porch or stop by the river and sit near the bank, and just relax.
