Rest Stop Ahead

While on the road, taking time out to rest can be critical and may even be life saving. Continuous, non-stop driving eventually degrades one's attention span, response time, and focus. And, although stopping along the way may allow vehicles under stress to cool down, in reality, the break is actually intended for the driver and accompanying passengers - a moment to decompress, refresh, and take in the scenery before getting back on the road.

Spiritually speaking, our Creator also designed stops for us while traveling down life's highway. We're told in His Word that one day out of seven has been set aside for rest and rejuvenation. And, although our physical bodies do need such a break, the purpose was really for our spirit man - the driving force of our life. We're to take advantage of this opportunity to cast off the cares of the world for a short time, but also to enjoy time with our Heaven Father and one another. Doing otherwise will ultimately result in a buildup of stress, loss of focus, and weakened relationships on all levels.

So, plan now for a stop up ahead and every time they're available. You'll be glad you did!
