People who are called to the higher calling of serving all of mankind need a break from time to time. Jesus understood the challenge of constant demands by people in need. In Mark chapter 6 we find Jesus encouraging a time of rest:
30 The apostles *gathered together with Jesus; and they reported to Him all that they had done and taught.
31 And He *said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)
32 They went away in the boat to a secluded place by themselves.
Though it was not for an extended time, Jesus was sensitive to the needs of the brethren. We too should be sensitive to the need of “recreating” when you have been under pressure. FATHER designated the seventh day as a day of rest for physiological and psychological recovery. We need to understand that FATHER knows best and you cannot continuously work, minister, study, or some other constant activity without a time of recovery. Love provides for a break from the action, embrace and enjoy it.
