Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
REST is an expression of humility. Humility is directly proportional to aligning ourselves with the rhythms of rest. We are as humble as we are free from stress and pressure.
Pride, on the other hand, is directly proportional to the "I'm busy" syndrome. Building our identity on how hard we work, as opposed to how well we love, is the evidence of pride. The more stress and pressure that we are under, the less we are under Christ's humble yolk.
Eccles. 4:6 "One hand full of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind."
Live better.
