Prioritizing Rest Before It’s Forced
Why wait until sickness forces rest? Make it a priority with God’s help.

I was so excited! It was late October during my days as a youth pastor. All in one weekend, we had a Leadership Retreat, a Fund-Raiser Lunch and our annual Youth Harvest Party. Which also included a trip to the local Hay-Maze!
Sickness and pain remind us that we’re broken. That we need someone greater than ourselves to help us. Illness and injury drive us to our knees because we can’t function on our own. At that moment, we finally submit that we’re not doing well. This is good for us.
Jesus didn’t rush past people. He learned their stories, and that care still shapes how we love others today.
