www.northmaincog.org/online Burnout (Psalm 131:1-3; Ecclesiastes 1:1-18) Yearly Theme:  “Goodness is… Glorious” Series Title:  “Beyond the Noise” October 6th, 2024   Follow along in the Bible App: http://bible.com/events/49327304   As we continue our series today on Solitude and Silence, we need to address the importance of what it means to rest our minds.  Just as our bodies need physical rest, our minds also need rest from all of the thoughts, dreams, pursuits, and busyness that consume them.  In order to illustrate this, we come to a couple of passages that focus on the importance of being still and quieting our minds from relentless pursuits. King Solomon (King David’s son in the Old Testament) wrote a book from his own experience of having everything, including knowledge and wisdom, only to find those pursuits pointless.  That’s not to say that wisdom and knowledge shouldn’t be gained in this life, however, if all of our days are spent in relentless pursuit of those things devoid of our pursuit of GOD then they are truly meaningless and drive us to exhaustion.
