Rest a while

10-23-2014    Mark 6:30-32

S.       30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.

O.      After the twelve return and report their ministry to Jesus he leads them away for a time of rest.

A.      Ministry is very demanding both physically and mentally. It is important that time is set aside for rest and rejuvenation. The key to successful rest is to include Jesus. Jesus was with the twelve during their time of rest.


P.       Father; help me to understand the need for rest and guide me to the type and place of rest that will be beneficial and spiritually renewing. Amen.
