Over Scheduled?

We are all created so differently, shaped so uniquely by God. Yet, we all were created to need soul rest. This will look different for each of us because we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Rest your soul. What do you need to have soul rest? God worked, creating the universe for six days, rested on the 7th day taking a Sabbath break. (Genesis 2:2) What is it for you that replenishes your soul, refreshes your soul? Life can be busy, but truly life is what we make it. We set our schedules; we make our plans. Does our planning for this week include some soul rest? Most likely no. We need to change this up. Do you have a hobby? Do you have something you enjoy doing, something that rests your soul? I like walking the beach, playing golf or reading a good novel. What rests your soul? We push ourselves too hard and sometimes don’t take any kind of rest until we crash and burn emotionally. This life season is very much a “hustle-bustle” and we can get so caught up in it, that before we know it, we are soul fatigued and not good for anything or anyone. Soul exhaustion is the enemy’s playground for confusion. We see more clearly when we have rested, it brings out in us a gratitude, an acknowledgement of God, seeing clearly His Sovereignty in our lives, and the things He has accomplished in us and through us. We get that sweet “heavenly hindsight” clarity when we take “time out” from life’s goings and comings. Rest your soul, replenish your soul, take time out with God, and do something that “floats your boat”, something you love doing, something that rests your soul. Maybe even do nothing, wouldn’t that be a change? We were created to need soul rest, to just breathe into our soul some God harmony. Step away, apart from the chaos, deeply breathe in the peace of God. When is the last time you did this? Take a Sabbath, a soul rest away from all the stress and chaos of life, just You and God? Try it. Wholly-Holy align your soul with God and listen up to Him without any distraction. It will rest your soul, it will make you a better, stronger person who walks with clarity in followship of God. God bless ya. Get some soul rest. Just breathe in God! Peace to you! Live life with clarity, confidently and courageously because it is well with your soul. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/beauty-tagged-by-peace/

“I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous!” John 14:27
