Taking time out...

9/21/2017

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
~Isaiah 40: 31

We all get tired. It's normal. We fill our lives with so many things. Of course we are tired.

The thing we must watch out for is exhaustion and burnout.

Easier said than done.

I have been reminded time and time again that one should never plan for more than you have time time to pray about.

Having the kind of relationship with God where you share all the time doesn't count! I know! Unless you take time out, and are intentional about the time, then there is nothing unique or special about the time.

Our plans are important. God wants to be part of those plans.

Rest and pray. Rise up and soar!

Stay in God's grip!
