Rest is an Inside Job
“RUNNING ON EMPTY” Rest is an Inside Job Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Isaiah 40:11; 30-31 “It does not differ with me whether I am in prayer or hearing the noise and clutter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees.” Stated by Brother Lawrence in The Practice of the Presence of God over 200 years ago 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” JESUS OFFERS THREE SOLUTIONS. 1. “Come to Me” 2. “Take My yoke upon you” 3. “Learn from Me” WHY ARE THESE SOLUTIONS SUCH A BIG DEAL? 1. Why come to Him? Because you will find rest for your soul! 2. Why take His yoke? Because it will be the best fit for you. 3. Why learn from Him? Because you will learn how to rest while working. TWO POWERFUL SYMBOLS THAT BRING HOPE FOR US CHANGE. (Isaiah 40:11; 30-31) 1. He tends His flock like a Shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads those that have young. 2. Those who wait upon the Lord will soar like eagles and never grow weary

Hurried Sickness: Restoring the Weary Heart
“RUNNING ON EMPTY” Hurried Sickness: Restoring the Weary Heart Hurried sickness is a pattern of going too fast and doing too much for too long leaving you feeling physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually exhausted and empty. Hurried sickness is ultimately a confusion of priorities. Our time and energy become focused in the wrong direction. What is the greatest cost of hurried sickness? The ability to love - love and hurry are fundamentally incompatible. Love requires energy - energy is something that hurried people do not have. Love also requires passion, for hurried people passion is in short supply. Our top priority or purpose on this earth is to love God and other people with all our heart.
