Rest doesn't mean do nothing

One of my greatest struggles when I'm on vacation is to continue to spend time with God. It seems that in doing nothing I'm inclined to take it to the extreme and stop everything that feels like it takes effort. The reality is that our life as Christians always takes effort. Matt 11:29 says "take my yoke upon you...and you will find rest for your souls". See there is work involved in the Christian life - always. However, when it comes to really resting, the work is worth it as it will bring us the ultimate kind of rest, rest for our souls. So if you're like me and still have rest time to come, don't rest entirely. Do the work required to rejuvenate the very depth of your soul.
