Technology is making life more and more convenient, but it’s also making the pace of life faster and faster. I don’t believe it’s God’s plan for us to be running full speed all the time. We need rest. Even Jesus took time to rest. He withdrew to quiet places (Matthew 14:13) and communed with His Father.
We should do the same. But how? How do we slow down and enjoy God, our families, and our daily lives more.
Author Eryn Lynum is with me on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly to talk about developing daily, weekly, and monthly patterns of rest that help us grow beyond checklists, so we can live in rest. |
