We get so tired ... we need to find rest.

We work. We take care of our families and our homes. We struggle with different things in our lives. We struggle with our health. We try to help others. It is exhausting.

We know we need to rest. We need to get enough sleep. We need to stay hydrated and we need to eat. All things that help us from being exhausted.

Yet when it comes to your spiritual life, are you being fed? Are you resting in God? Psalms 23:1‭-‬2 NLT is a great reminder:

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.

A shepherd watches over their flock. The shepherd cares for, protects, and feeds their flock. The flock stays healthy, happy, and safe. Jesus is our shepherd. We do have all that we need. Maybe not all that we want, but what we need. And what we need is to have a relationship with Jesus so that once we get to the end of this life we will be in heaven with the Father for eternity. Jesus tells us we will have trials here. We will get weary, tired, and exhausted. The Good News is that until we leave this Earth to join Him, we can find rest in Him.
