"God called the light 'day' and the darkness he called 'night'. And there was
evening, and there was morning...."Genesis 1:5 (NIV)
Dear Lord, when I push You to last place, I miss out on hearing Your voice.
When I keep going until I drop, I get all tangle up in my to-do list. I know that life is busy,
but help me to discern between what is important, and what is not. Reorganize my
life, and reveal true rest that only comes from You.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
SLOW IT DOWN! God started with evening-a time of rest-and a day's productivity
resulted. We live in a culture where rest is often viewed in a negative light. When we
work, we work hard. When we play, we play hard. We know how to fill our time with e-mail,
activities, carpool, cleaning, aerobics, and our list of tasks. But do we know how to rest?
There are times that I have to slow it down and reconsider my priorities all over again. And
if physical rest or spiritual rest has been pushed to last place, I have to put it all on the
table and let The Boss help me sort through it so I can put "evening" back where it belongs.
