Study: Matthew 11:28-30
Read: Chapter 1 of Rest Assured (pages 1-24)
Verse of the Week
Matthew 11:28-30: Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. (NKJV)
Challenge of the Week
Carve out 5-10 minutes each day this week and take Jesus up on his invitation to come to Him. Lay your heart bare before Him. Ask Him to show you the why behind your busyness. Refer to the list of busyness payoffs on pages 8-11 of Rest Assured if you need some additional guidance to understanding what lies beneath your destructive cycle of chronic busyness. At the end of the week, look at your calendar with fresh eyes and a new heart and begin to do some necessary pruning.
