Tired?

So the festive season is over – So was it worthwhile rushing about buying all your cards and presents? Did you do what many of us do over Christmas and eat too much? Did you actually find you still bought too much food and had to throw some of it out?

Wow, so much rushing about and so many things to do in December, so how you feeling now…tired? Exhausted? Glad to be back at work for a rest? 

Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message)

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

No matter how physically tired you may be after all the busyness of the festive period, I pray you are not spiritually tired.

If you are spiritually tired either now or at any other time of the year, simply do as Jesus said, come to Him and He will give you rest. This is expressed in the great song Come To Me sung here by the Pasadena Tabernacle Songsters of the Salvation Army:
