When You Repose You Compose and Your Strength Grows

Rest is a key ingredient to success. When you’re pushing hard you get fatigued and exhaust your resources. You’re not actually getting stronger while you exercise but afterward when you rest. Spirit, soul, body, financially and relationally the investment is made in exertion but the increase comes afterward. Exercise is sowing but rest is required for reaping. If you don’t take a break you can’t grow no matter how much you sow. When you repose you compose and your strength grows. If you don’t rest you’ll never be your best. You can sow and sow until you wear yourself out but if you don’t stop your seeds can’t sprout. And no matter how devout you’ll have a drought if you’re always pouring yourself out. Your vitality multiplies when you stop not while you go and if you wanna go fast you gotta go slow. “I DON’T WANT TO GO SLOW!” But I know God is saying, “HELLO! If you don’t rest then you won’t grow!”

So we have to make this a regular part of our regimen. It takes discipline to exercise in every area and it also takes discipline to rest. We need to be just as committed to our intermission as our exertion. Otherwise the majority of our effort may produce little gain or be in vain. So don’t rebel but REST WELL and you will excel! Farewell!

Heb 4:9-11
9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.
NKJV

Matt 11:28-30
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
NKJV
