Hebrews 4:9-10
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into His rest, he
also, hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.
One may say what a strange subject for a discussion topic, well think in
terms of earthly vacations where the vacationer takes time out from his or her
busy lives to rest and relax. God rested from His creative works and encourages
us do likewise.
God dedicated the Sabbath to rest and worshiping Him. He encourages us to
rest in Him and this rest is encouraged daily and in doing so we find peace and
relaxation from the daily stresses of life.
How do we take a spiritual
vacation? This is achieved through momentary prayer shutting out the world
and its activities, then focus on God and His goodness. Thank God for His
blessings that He showers us with every moment of our lives each day. Cast all
our cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7) and leave them there and as promised He will
take care of them. We can also take a spiritual vacation by meditating on God's
creative works of nature and self. Lastly, we can take a spiritual vacation by
pausing life's activities and allowing our minds to run free and our spirit
connect with God's Spirit there we will find peace, rest and relaxation.
A spiritual vacation is the calming and smoothing effect of the Lord in
the Lord.
