Intro:
Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with your dailyeword. This week as we will talk about breathing some fresh air into our life routines. Peace is possible and we can have room to rest without pressing the limits all the time. It is a pattern in the Bible that God established that we take time to rest and to worship. Mark 2:27actually says that the Sabbath was made for us, and honoring the Sabbath can be life changing and life giving. Here’s a breath of fresh air this week to recharge your schedule. Here is your dailyeword
Pace yourself. If you are a runner, you know that if you start out in a sprint, you will never finish a marathon at that pace. Only inexperienced runners begin marathon like that. I have been on a sprint through my day before, from the time my feet hit the floor in the morning, until I lay my head on the pillow at night. I should know better and I should do better. I know I am not alone. Maybe we have too much planned, or we say yes to too many responsibilities. We have to remember who is in charge of our schedule. We are! So schedule in some down time. Take a breather. Take a break every once in a while. Don’t forget to take care of you. Even Jesus knew when he needed time away. He honored the Sabbath, and honored his body by resting when necessary. We should follow His example.
