I feel like every day I have pain somewhere in my body. For a couple weeks, my back was killing me. Then I seemed to have pulled a muscle in my groin. Then I was having bad headaches. Now my arms feel somewhat on fire, numb and in pain. This is why the retirement age should be 35 instead of 65. :) Or anyone over 35 should probably learn to take it easy and realize they are not a young whipper snapper anymore.
There is a verse about this, Psalm 23, "God Makes me lie down in green pastures to restore my soul." We often don't lay down to rest of our own will. Our pride makes us keep going, keep striving, keep chasing that money. Our ego says we don't need a break. What is a break? Those are for old people. Then we realize, we are a little bit old too. So we say, "Ok fine, I'll sit down for awhile." But then we feel guilty and think, "Am I allowed to rest for awhile?" And God says to us, "Rest now, I want to restore your soul. You are burned out. Take a break. My yoke is easy and my burden is light. You don't have to strive anymore. Take a load off. Put your feet up. Let me minister to you. Let me love you for awhile. Quiet the voices of all those crazy people for awhile. Focus on me. I want to spend some time with you." And it is like sitting behind a waterfall, hidden away in safety, and you finally feel at peace.
God bless. :)
