In the Beginning
“The beginning of the week is often challenging. You’re struggling to get back into the everyday routine, and the demands of work or home life—or both—are exactly that demanding. So if you already feel a little worn out, don’t be discouraged!
Give yourself a few minutes alone today. Sit in the quiet and remind yourself of these truths: God is with you and for you. He will never leave or forsake you. He rejoices over you with singing. He loves you. He gives strength to the weary. He wants to lift your burdens from you. And He tells you to rest.
Breathe in these promises from God, and let the hope they provide soak into your heart. Ask the Lord to make them clear to you throughout your week. Yes, the days may still be busy, and at times you might feel overwhelmed, but the Lord is on your side. Rest in the comfort of that truth today… (Rest)
