Mark 6:31 And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.(ESV)
Rest is not only physical. The body needs rest from labor. The mind needs rest from constant sorting, weighing, and solving. The heart needs rest from carrying what was never meant to be carried alone. The soul needs rest in the presence of God. There are seasons where faithfulness means pressing forward, but there are also seasons where faithfulness means stepping away long enough to remember that the work was never supposed to become the source of life.
