Rest - By Esther Campbell

As Christmas is fast approaching we are planning and preparing for the big day, not just for family gatherings but also gift giving. It may not be a pleasant season for those who are alone or going through circumstances or battling a sickness.
 
We might be  burdened  with situations in families or fighting loneliness, we become tired of reasoning and our minds get clogged. Joyce Meyer says when the mind is busy it’s called ‘abnormal mind’ in her book, Battlefield of the Mind.
 
What do we do when we are weary and burdened? Go and rest in Jesus.

 The Bible says,
Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
 
When we are rested in God:

• We have a better attitude.
  
• We can focus on things better and be excellent in everything we do.
  
• We find God’s peace that surpasses all understanding.
  
• We have better health and healing happens.
  

 
Seek Him with all your heart, mind and soul this busy season and rest in His presence more than worrying. Remember, He is the reason for this season.
