Episode Description
Oftentimes, we get so busy in our work for God that we forget the fuel needed to sustain our walk with God.
As promising as being all over the place trying to promote kingdom messages is, it is very easy to feel overwhelmed.
We worry a lot about the things we think need to be done and we forget that keeping chaos around us can prevent us from having an intimate relationship and fellowship with God. You can't be useful to kingdom advancement if you are constantly tired and to have the kind of rest that gives you renewed strength each time, you need Christ.
This episode mirrors the lives of Mary and Martha as well as points out 3 ways you can deal with stress and experience rest that can only be found in Jesus Christ.
- Get into the posture of Mary.
Living in this world is demanding enough and one easy mistake we make as believers is to allow ourselves to drown in it. We are privileged to have Jesus Christ, it's one of the packages that comes with being saved so instead of running around, why don't you rest at Christ's feet and experience lasting peace?
- Seek after Him.
Our lives as humans and the need to excel at everything are like an inclined plane. We go from wanting to be the excellent spouse to being the best parent, top at our workplace, etc. At what point do you actively seek God? We get so busy with these distractions but intentionally seeking God is one way to experience rest. When we seek God, He seeks us.
“God is not some faraway big voice in the cloud that doesn't care about you, He is the still small voice that is there in your darkest moments.”
- Be open to receiving.
Like Mary, resign yourself to receive from Christ. Ignore the chaos around you and put yourself at His feet. We work so hard that when we need gratification, we look to our work. What we would be concerned with is how green our relationship with God is and how receptive we are to receiving from him.
“God's rest is something you receive not something you achieve.”
