The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place" (Mark 6:30-32, NIV).
There are just time that we have to take ten, fifteen, twenty minutes and just get by ourselves and seek the face of the Lord. That is where true rest comes from. Yes we can take vacations or weekend getaways and they help, but they only last for a time.
If we take time everyday to read, pray, and worship God, He will give us rest. It isn't always physical kind of rest, but a spiritual kind. You shed the business, problems and junk of yesterday and get ready for today. We have to make God our priority everyday. Just like your spouse and kids want your attention.
