THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

FOLLOW JESUS’ EXAMPLE AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER

The daily pressures of life can often lead to unnecessary stress. Indeed, many individuals lose SLEEP over concerns about various things or PEOPLE in their lives. However, it is not God’s DESIRE for us to be consumed by stress and OVERWHELMED. HE wishes for us to lead lives filled with REST and PEACE.

When JESUS was on earth, He made time for HIMSELF. He DISTANCED Himself from the multitudes and spent time with the FATHER, finding REST. His heart was gentle and HUMBLE.

Have you ever observed that when you’re stressed or worried, your TOLERANCE for others DIMINISHES? You might say things you don’t INTEND. Today, consider entrusting your concerns to GOD and adopting a gentle and HUMBLE demeanor. By releasing your burdens and emulating JESUS, your soul will find REST. You’ll be REJUVINATED and REFRESHED, attaining PEACE in your heart, which enables you to embrace the ABUNDANT life God has PLANNED for you.

Today’s Scripture:

“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

Matthew 11:29, NIV
