Jesus Wants Us to Have Time of Rest ㅡ

“And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.” (Mark 6:31).

He [Jesus] did not urge upon His disciples the necessity of ceaseless toil.

“Come ye yourselves apart, ...and rest a while,”(Mark 6:31) He says to those who are worn and weary.

It is not wise to be always under the strain of work and excitement, ...for in this way personal piety is neglected, and the powers of mind and soul and body are overtaxed.

Care needs to be exercised in regard to the regulation of hours for sleeping and laboring.

We must take periods of rest, periods of recreation, periods for contemplation.

There are modes of recreation which are highly beneficial to both mind and body.

Recreation in the open air, the contemplation of the works of God in nature, will be of the highest benefit.

We may ...make our seasons of recreation what the name implies—seasons of true upbuilding for body and mind and soul.
