52 Days, Day 34, Overcoming Weariness.

Nehemiah 4:10 (KJV) “And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and [there is] much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.” We are two-thirds of the way through our journey of 52 Days of Consecration. With that in mind, perhaps you can relate all too well to this verse. “The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed.” It is important to remember that from the creation of all things God put in place a need, even a requirement, for things and people to rest. We need rest in the three arenas of our whole self: Mind, Body, Spirit. Turn off the noise of the world today to give your mind and body a rest (set your smart-phone down, turn media devices off, sit outside and listen to the birds sing and consider the sparrow); give your Spirit a rest by connecting to God by meditating on His Word and speaking His Name in prayer, Psalm 46:10 (KJV) “Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” Exodus 33:14 (NKJV) “And He said, “My Presence will go [with you,] and I will give you rest.”Matthew 28:20 (KJV) “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.”
