Going On Vacation

The suitcase is packed, the out-of-office auto-reply is set, and the anticipation is building. Going on vacation is one of the year’s highlights, a time we eagerly count down to on our calendars. Whether you are headed to a sandy beach, a mountain cabin, or a bustling new city, the promise of a getaway brings a sense of freedom and excitement. It is a break from the routine, a chance to trade alarm clocks for sleeping in and deadlines for daydreams. But beyond the fun and relaxation, taking a vacation is actually a deeply spiritual practice that aligns with God’s design for our lives.   You can read today’s devotional and past reflections at followingtheleader.org.
