Slow Down
Today's Verse
28Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.Matthew 11:28-29 · ESV
The Devotion
No doubt about it - we're living in the most overloaded, overstimulated, and over hyper-stressed generation in history.
We have more information than ever before, but less transformation. We have more knowledge but less wisdom. We have more convenience but less time. I think it's because we've left God out of it.
Author Iris Delgado says "so many people today are so stressed out they hardly have time for intimacy with God. They really want to get away and pray, study the Word, and meditate, but time seems to fly too fast. Before you know it, it's time to collapse in bed and wait for the alarm clock to ring to do the same things all over again."
Jesus gives us a better way! He offers to take all of our anxieties, cares, and concerns because of His care for us (1 Peter 5:7). He lovingly invites us to follow Him, knowing that His way of living give true peace, rest, and satisfaction.
Will you slow down just to be with him today? Will you be still and know that he is God? This reset will reshape everything about your life.
Lord, help me submit to Your rule and reign in my life today. I cast all my anxiety, worry, stress, and concerns on You. I choose to rest in You and allow You to direct the paths of My life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
