Mark 6:31
"Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, He(Jesus) said to them, "Come with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.""
MINISTRY HAS MANY FACETS.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENTS IN MINISTRY IS PROBABLY THE ONE WE OVERLOOK MOST!
Yes, we pray, we fast, we allow ourselves to be stretched for God's Kingdom!
BUT WE ALWAYS SEEM TO LACK BALANCE WHEN IT COMES TO THE DISCIPLINE OF REST!
Rest is essential for effective ministry!
GOD HAS GIVEN US A HUMAN BODY, WITH ALL ITS FRAILTIES, FOR A PURPOSE!
THAT PURPOSE IS SO THAT WE CAN LEARN TO DEPEND ON HIM! (Not ourselves!)
The fact is that while we are resting, God is imparting more in us so that our ministry can grow stronger!
"THAT IS WHY GOD GIVES VISIONS & DREAMS!"
