Give You Rest Matthew 11:28

In Joyce Meyer Devotional this morning called "Purposefully Quiet" I got a revelation about being still. I use to take quite time to rest and meditate. But sometimes I just felt the same after my meditation. I was still tired or stressed 

I've never thought of it this way before as Joyce says....

"Resting internally is just as important as resting externally. Our bodies do need to rest, but so do our minds and emotions. Plan a daily vacation for your soul. It will help you more than you can imagine.

Whats the point of resting on the outside if our insides are in turmoil. We need to surrender all to God!!!!

As Joyce says here too "We can sit down in a chair or lie in bed to rest our bodies, but if our souls are busy worrying and we have no peace, we will not be rested when we get up."

That's why Jesus says give him your burdens. I like the message version of Matthew 11:28....

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
