Rest and Rhythm
Balance & Wholeness
Scripture
Mark 6:31
“Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."”
Devotion
September brings intensity. New routines, new demands, new challenges. Scripture teaches that rest is not laziness but necessity. Jesus invited His disciples to rest. You need rest too. Build it into September. Do not let busyness eliminate quietness. Do not let productivity eliminate peace. Rest is part of spiritual discipline. Make space for it.
Today’s Step
Where will you rest in September? How will you protect quiet time? What will help you recharge?
Prayer
God, help me to make space for rest. Help me to not let busyness eliminate peace. Help me to know that rest is part of following You. Help me to be restored and whole.
