Consistent Rest is needed
Consistency of Rest — When Stillness Becomes Strategy “He makes me lie down in green pastures… He restores my soul.” Psalm 23:2–3 (NIV) Daily Reflection Let me say this plainly. Some of us are not tired because life is demanding — we’re tired because we won’t stop driving ourselves. We don’t rest because we don’t trust what will happen if we pause. So we keep moving. Keep producing. Keep pushing. Keep saying “I’m fine” when our body and spirit are screaming otherwise. And God, in His mercy, says: Lay down. Not collapse. Not crash. Not burn out. Lie down. That means rest isn’t optional it’s instruction. Rest is how God interrupts the pace that would eventually destroy you. It’s how He keeps you from making decisions out of fatigue instead of discernment. It’s how He restores what pressure quietly drains. I’ve learned this: when rest is inconsistent, everything else starts slippin. Patience gets thin. Clarity gets foggy. Emotions get loud. Discernment down. But when rest becomes a rhythm I move different. I think slower. I hear clearer. I respond wiser. Rest doesn’t mean you’re missing out or falling behind. It means you’re finally aligned. 💭 Ask Yourself 1️⃣ What am I afraid will happen if I actually slow down? 2️⃣ When did rest become something I only allow after exhaustion? 3️⃣ How has chronic tiredness affected my judgment, tone, or reactions? 4️⃣ What signals has my body been sending that I keep overriding? 5️⃣ Do I equate rest with laziness — and where did that belief come from? 6️⃣ What would it look like to stop before I’m empty instead of after I’m depleted? 7️⃣ Who am I when I’m rested — and why don’t I let that version lead more often? Keys to Making Rest Consistent 1️⃣ Respect your limits before they force you to Ignoring them doesn’t make them disappear. 2️⃣ Stop negotiating with fatigue You don’t need permission to rest. 3️⃣ Create non-negotiable quiet time Noise is not neutral — it costs you. 4️⃣ End your day with intention Rest starts before sleep.

Hope
I woke up at the sound of the tires screeching. My head hit something hard, and I couldn't think clearly. I was extremely confused. When I looked through the broken window, I saw our ministry partner, Paulino, lying there in the middle of the road. My husband and our driver ran to his lifeless body on the pavement. We were in a different country on an evangelistic tour, so far away from our home, bringing life and hope to a hurting and lonely world. Only now my world was hurting and lonely. Hope was snatched from us in one moment. I cannot find the right words to describe the pain, the feeling of loneliness and the frustration that hit me immediately. I didn’t say a word for days. Questions plagued me. Doubts bombarded me. Why did this horrible tragedy happen to us? Weren’t we doing His will? Where was His divine protection that day? When I started in ministry, I didn’t think I would experience many hard times. I had faith that nothing could break me or make me have doubts. But something did happen and in a second, I was as vulnerable as anyone else. I needed to hear from God. I needed His embrace. I needed His peace. I felt so lost. Then God brought Isaiah 41:10 to my heart. This experience made me aware, in a greater degree, that He is with me and only by His power, can I endure the dark times that enter our lives. I had to be honest, accept my pain, face it and start my walk with Him again. We will have many battles in life. Even in ministry life. We will experience tragedies, fears, pain, and confusion. We will feel like we cannot keep going, but He will renew our strength. There will be moments when we won’t find the right answers, but we will trust God in spite of the doubts. He will lift us up with His strong hand. It will require patience. But don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged. Don’t be dismayed. Through it all God is with you, and He promises to make you stronger as you trust in Him despite your circumstances. What tragedies or situations have you faced that made you doubt your belief in God? How did you find healing through it?

This sounds like the time that Dr. Fenner was talking to us and we were speaking the same thing about we all say God is good but everybody don’t believe that because of the tragedies and what they see happening in and around the world and they wanna know where is God when it’s happening so it’s kind of sort of just like that not kind of sort. It is just like that when God doesn’t do what you want him to do is he still good and I will still say yes God is still good. The things that I’ve experienced over my life it hurt it you know made me ask God where are you and how could you let this happen, but I had to get myself together and get back up and keep fighting although we go through those times and we may have those feelings towards God. It should not remain that way especially when you go back and look over your life and you look back at the 2000 or so years ago that we speak about when God released his son to come down to the Earth to take abuse for us and he took on all of our sins if everybody believes that and if you believe that, you gotta know that that wasn’t a good thing for God to let his son come down here to be taking advantage of for us who still send today who has not really changed who has not really done what God requires us to do you know so how do you think God feel so when things like that happen? I always look back and put myself in God‘s place and say well how do you think God feel he had to send his son down here for my son list tale for my sinful tale and how do you think God feel so when you look at what God has done and what God has allowed he created to heaven in the Earth for us and all he wanted us to do was to live love and you know help each other, but it does not turn out like that. It does not look like that to him it looks like he created a big ball a mess because we won’t get ourselves together, and I say we because we all have said and fallen short of the glory God, but God is still good, no matter what I have sustained no matter what I have gone through that will always be my testimony, even in the midst of going through some stuff because he also warned us and said for this you shall have tribulations, he also said many of the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord shall deliver us out of them all he may not deliver us on our time he delivers on his time so I’m still OK with God being good no matter what if I get the House or Don’t he’s good if I get the car or I don’t he’s good if I get whatever it is or I don’t whatever it is God is always gonna be good in my book. Yes, things are happening, but he said I come like a thief in the night. Things are going down, but he gave warning and said that things won’t always be this way so sometimes we’re gonna be up and sometimes we’re gonna be down and know he says after you have suffered a little while and if you were suffering because of Jesus Christ, he said we are sheep for the slaughter all the days of our lives and Ecclesiastes 3:1 just puts it all in perspective for me. There is a time a place of purpose in the season under the heaven so because we’re under the heaven, we are not exempt from anything that goes on, but this is why we should get saved and be under the covenant of God because whatever ever happens if it’s in deaf, at least we are returned back to God.💜❤️🙏🏽😘

You still have an assignment to finish
YOUR WORK IS NEVER DONE UNTIL GOD CALLS YOU HOME🙌🏾🩷🔥💜 The phrase "they will still bear fruit in their old age" is from Psalm 92:14 (KJV), describing the righteous who, like well-nourished trees planted in God's house, remain spiritually vital, flourishing, "fat and flourishing," and productive even in old age, demonstrating God's faithfulness. It signifies lasting spiritual vitality, wisdom, and purpose through a life rooted in God, even as physical years advance, showcasing God's uprightness. Context in Psalm 92: Psalm 92:12-13 (KJV): "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God". Psalm 92:14 (KJV): "They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing". Psalm 92:15 (KJV): "To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him". Meaning: Spiritual Vitality: The imagery compares the faithful to trees that stay green and yield fruit, symbolizing sustained spiritual life and strength. Lasting Purpose: Even in advanced years, believers continue to be productive, wise, and influential, bearing good works and bringing glory to God. God's Faithfulness: This promise underscores that a life connected to God ensures continued fruitfulness, proving His justice and goodness.
