Tired… so tired… why do we let ourselves get to that point where we are just beyond tired? Where tiredness starts to consume our bodies, our souls and our minds?
Why don’t we take care of ourselves? Why don’t we keep our sabbaths holy? Why do we work work work work until all of a sudden all we are is a heap of coals because we have let ourselves become dry?
“Come to me, all you who are weary” I hear this nearby. I hear Him say “I will give you rest”. I don’t think this is a call to be passive and let warm fuzzies wash over you. I think this is a call to take time to rest. He says COME to me. Not I’ll come to you and you will feel restful. We are to actively seek him and our rest. We are to find ways to rest in Him.
