Many of you will now be on holiday. It's a great feeling to be off but often anticipation of the holiday is half of the enjoyment. I always look forward to going on holiday. For weeks and often months I dream of the mornings when I don't need to be up at the crack of dawn, when I can have lie in (and not feel guilty), when I can read my book and not think 'O no, look at the time' I'd better get to sleep'. Then the holiday comes and goes in a flash and it's back to 'brass tacks' (I don't know where the saying came from but I know what it means!).
I really enjoy my holidays. I like the time to reflect, meet my friends, discuss 'everything under the sun', eat, read, walk and doing lots of other things as well. The Bible teaches the principle of 'taking time out'. The Lord Jesus told his disciples to 'come apart' and 'rest a while'. When God made the earth he rested on the 'seventh day'. It all adds up to the fact that we need to time to think, reflect, rest and enjoy the results of what we have been busy doing.
Do you take time out? Or is time to think and reflect wasted time in your reckoning?
I encourage you to take some time to think. Think about life, why we are here? What is it all about? Ask the dangerous questions! Read the Bible (the Word of God) and discover God who has the answers.
God made us!
We will meet him one day!
He sent his Son, Jesus, into the world so that we could get to know Him.
He understands that our sin and disobedience bars us from knowing Him personally. Like a good Father He holds us to account for our wrongdoing but unlike most, He is willing to pardon our sin because His Son, Jesus, took the punishment for us when he died on the cross.
Take time out today and learn the truth about you and your life. Read and thing about John 3:16 in the Bible, turn from your sin and trust the Lord Jesus for salvation.
John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"
