Matthew 11:28, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
The mid-watch, a baby being born, a death in the family; all can bring about some times when we are extremely tired. But what about a lost job, a wayward child, or a very busy schedule? Yes, these are times when exhaustion can set in causing us to lose focus on what God has called us to. We lose our focus on our spouse, our ministry, and other important God given responsibilities.
So, what are we to do? I believe it may have been Vance Havner that originally said; “Come apart, before we come apart.” We must change our schedule in order to get the needed rest we need.
Do you find yourself tired? Wore out by life’s demands? Take some time off. Change your schedule around. Come apart from those things before you come apart having a nervous breakdown. Adjust your priorities in order to be the leader God wants you to be!
