Rest
“Rest a while” (Mark 6:31).
For many of us, Friday is the end of a work or school week and we can look forward to a day or two of relaxation or at least a change of pace.
In Mark chapter 6, we learn that after busy, active service, and the burying of John the Baptist, the disciples came to the Lord and told Him all about it. No doubt they were weary and perhaps even a little discouraged and puzzled over what had taken place. The Lord then invited them to come apart with Himself for a few moments of rest. However, it didn’t last very long, and we soon read that a great multitude had come to hear the Lord preach, and, at the end of the day, the disciples are feeding several thousand people with the loaves and fishes that the Lord multiplied.
Maybe the Lord has some little service for you to perform this weekend. It could be visiting someone who needs encouragement, helping with a gospel outreach, Sunday school, Bible study, or some little service that nobody else knows about. While you have a break from the weekly routine of life and a needed season of rest, don’t forget that there is much to do in the Lord’s service. No doubt He has a work for you to perform this weekend.
