God designed rest not just for our bodies but for our souls, inviting us to pause and trust in His promises. When we rest, we acknowledge that we 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 🏋️ 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.

Is church starting to feel more exhausting than uplifting? Is it because you have over-stretched yourself? Let's learn from Moses who heeded the advice from Jethro to slow down and find support before he suffered from burn out (see Exodus 18:17-18).

✋🏻 It’s okay to take a step back, rest, and refresh. God wants you to serve with joy, not exhaustion.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱; 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲.

Take breaks and gain new strength to continue the work in your best condition. Pause, breathe, and let Him renew your spirit. ✨

In Isaiah 30:15, God reminds His people that we will find true peace and rest when we turn away from our sins and depend on Him.

This week, may your rest be intentional. Are there things or activities that are turning you away from God? 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐢𝐦. Are you feeling unsettled and restless because you are trying to keep things under control? 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐦.

When it comes to Jesus, one thing always stands out: His unconditional, long-suffering love.

He endured the cross for us, even though we may reject His love. As Jesus has loved us, we can also extend that love to others.

By overlooking and forgetting minor offences, even some pretty large ones, it gives us the opportunity to point them to Jesus’ unconditional, long-suffering love.

By inviting Christ's spirit into our lives and surrendering daily, He can free us from our shackles ⛓️.

May He help us to see others as fellow beloved creations of God, not a means to momentary pleasure.

The Bible tells us to be separate from the world (Romans 12:2), yet the Great Commission directs us to go into it (Matthew 28:19). 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀?

🕊 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭—to discern between the Spirit's leading and that of the flesh. The flesh calls us to have fun without self-control and at any expense, the Spirit leads us to do things that bear His fruit 🍊 of self-control and peace.

By depending on the Spirit, we can step boldly in the darkness with God's light (John 1:5).

If you have a friend with mental health concerns, you may hesitate to get involved because you worry about messing up.

But those who struggle with mental health issues would say that 🗣️ “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦.”

Remember that your friend’s 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐝, so your role is to reflect His care and point your friend to Him, not to have all the answers or make your friend dependent on you.

Jesus could return perhaps today, yet we don't often think about how that would change the way we live. Perhaps we feel overwhelmed at the thought of it, or it just doesn't feel as pressing as our 💼 work deadlines.

Yet when we're faced with a serious illness, or someone we know passes away, then thoughts like "we should've made better use of our time" surface. ⌛️ 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻?

It seems like everyone is 🔥 fired up for God—ready to serve in ministry. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

Perhaps because you don't feel as equipped, or you're worn out by work and life's demands. Or you might be in a different season from your church mates, and 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲.

Simply start by praying for God to 💥 ignite in you the desire to know and enjoy Him, that you may be moved to join His kingdom work.

God can sometimes seem like a drill sergeant with a long list of not-to-dos. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗛𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝘂𝘀.

Author Jen Wilkin explains how we have grown to see the law (rules) as a “barrier” in our relationship with God when, in fact, “rules show us how to live in relationships” and without them, “our hopes of a healthy relationship vanish”.

𝐆𝐨𝐝'𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 💕; they are designed to protect us so we can live the abundant life Jesus offers (John 10:10).

Does our world feel dark and hopeless to you at times? Bad things keep happening, and you can’t help but wonder: “God, where are you?”

We can find the answer to this question by remembering who God is. 1 John 1:5 says, ‘“God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.”

God is light, and it is His plan that believers shine forth His light (Ephesians 5:8). We can live as people of light by constantly drawing close to God, allowing His Spirit to weed out sin in our lives, and bearing fruits of righteousness.

As God shines His light through us, our world will be a little brighter.

A life dedicated to missions isn't something most people envision for themselves. We may even assume that it's 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 📞.

However, the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) exhorts followers of Christ to make disciples. We don't have to go far 🛫 to bear the good news. We can reach out to our neighbours, co-workers, or family members. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲.

And sharing the good news isn't only through speaking it. It's through the way we live in response to God's abounding love and grace.

We're waiting for the 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 to slip the gospel in, but when everyone’s having such a good time, we don't want to ruin the mood. What if we get 😐 blank stares? What if they stop inviting us to hang out?

Yet sharing the good news is 💛 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬. In doing so, we are caring for a friend’s life in eternity more than just their comfort here and now.

What's equally important is remembering to regularly commit our friends in 🧎prayer, which reminds us that this is 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬.

When we repeatedly turn to an object or activity to self-soothe, we may need to ask ourselves: “𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙢 𝙄 𝙩𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚?”

😣 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬? Ask God to show you which expectations are reasonable, and which ones are beyond your capability.

😢 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲? Turn to Him who holds you close to His heart (Isaiah 40:11).

🩹 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭? Talk them through with Him, and let His word comfort you.

Identifying our pain helps us understand what we actually, really need—not temporary comfort from material things, but God Himself.

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 | Mental Health in the Bible: Voices of Hope

Amid our struggles and debilitating life circumstances, our mental health will inevitably take a toll 📉.

While we might think that attention to mental well-being is a relatively modern phenomenon, many who have gone before us in the Bible also had their bouts with mental distress.

Their lives might have been drastically different from ours, but their struggles were just as valid and similar to our own plights.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗲. However, through God’s strengthening, they could navigate through it, emerging refreshed and invigorated 🤩.

It's hard enough to keep up with our worldly responsibilities, 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 "𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬" 𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐝 (Colossians 3:2).

However, our daily lives and God are 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. Rather, just as Christ works through the ordinary moments of our everyday, we can weave God into our routine.

🎧 Plug in to some worship music on your way to work. Start each task with a simple prayer 🙏. Notice opportunities to bless a co-worker. There are many ways to embrace Christ in the daily.
