Battling Burnout

"Battling Burnout: Finding Rest and Renewal in God's Sabbath (Matthew 11:28-30)"

In our fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. We often push ourselves to our limits, and this can lead to burnout.

The Bible teaches us that we need to take time to rest and renew our minds and bodies. In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus invites us to come to him, all you who are weary and burdened, and he will give us rest.

Here are a few tips for finding rest and renewal in God's Sabbath:

 * Set aside time each week to rest. This could be a day of the week or a few hours each day.

 * Disconnect from technology. Take a break from your phone, computer, and TV.

 * Spend time in nature. Go for a walk, hike, or sit in the park.

 * Spend time with loved ones. Connect with your family and friends.

 * Pray and meditate. Spend time in prayer and meditation to connect with God.

If you are feeling burned out, remember that God is always there for you. He wants to give you the rest you need.

A Vision in the Sky: The Sky Spoke Again: God Is Coming Soon (Part Two)

Image
In the early hours of today, I had a dream that left me shaken, thrilled, and deeply moved — one I feel compelled to share with the world. In the dream, I found myself at the gym with my brother and a group of friends. It was early morning, just as the sun was rising. After finishing our session, we all walked outside to head home. The sky was painted in that golden-orange hue that comes just before the full light of day. It felt peaceful… until something extraordinary happened. As I looked up, I saw a number — a sequence that looked like a date — scrolling upward across the sky. Its movement was clear, not rushed like my previous dream. Shocked, I pointed and shouted, "Everybody look! Are you seeing this?" To my amazement, every single person — about 25 of us — looked up and saw the same thing. We were shocked, amazed, ecstatic, excited, and yet frightened all at once. It wasn’t a hallucination. It wasn’t a private vision. It was real — and we all saw it. Then ca...

Children obey your parents

  Why Children Need to Listen to Their Parents – What the Bible Says Children are a gift from God, and He has given parents the responsibility to guide, teach, and protect them. Listening to parents is not just about obedience; it is about learning wisdom, understanding right from wrong, and growing into a godly and responsible person. The Bible has a lot to say about why children should listen to their parents and the blessings that come with obedience. Biblical Teachings on Listening to Parents 1. It Is a Command from God The Bible makes it clear that children should obey their parents. One of the Ten Commandments states: “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” – Exodus 20:12 (NIV) Obedience is not just a rule but a command that brings blessings and longevity. 2. Obedience Brings Blessings The apostle Paul reinforces this command in Ephesians 6:1-3: “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Ho...

With God, Nothing Is Impossible: Unlocking Divine Possibilities

Image
In a world filled with limitations, failures, and impossibilities, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by what we cannot do. We often face closed doors, dead ends, and battles that seem too big to conquer. But in the middle of it all, there's a timeless truth that brings hope, faith, and courage: “For with God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37, KJV). This powerful scripture was spoken by the angel Gabriel to Mary when he announced that she would miraculously conceive Jesus, even though she was a virgin. It was a divine reminder that human limitations do not restrict God. What seems impossible in the natural realm becomes possible in the hands of the supernatural. Understanding the Context Luke 1:37 was spoken in the midst of two miraculous stories: Elizabeth, who was barren and well past childbearing age, was pregnant with John the Baptist. Mary, a young virgin, was chosen to give birth to the Son of God. Both situations defied logic, biology, and common sense—but G...
