Welcome back to 31 Days to Less Stress! I hope you have been able to set aside today as a day of rest. God set aside the Sabbath as a day or rest, mirroring His rest after creation. He knew we would need it. And He also wanted us to have a day set aside for His remembrance.
In John 8:12, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Jesus also tells us in Matthew 5:14-16 that we are the light of the world and we should give light to all who see us, and not hide it or allow it to be hidden.When we set aside time to rest, we can be renewed ready to let our light shine as well.
When we get stressed, take on too much, and lose focus, our light doesn’t shine very brightly because we lose sight of the Light. Our light can only shine because of the Light in us. When we rest, we follow God’s plan for us. He created us to need rest.
Today, rest in the Light. Renew your spirit for the week ahead, so that you may shine brightly this week because the Light of Christ is in you and reflects out through your good works so that others may know the true Light.
