Message
Charles Gordon once remarked that, “If a dreamer is not focused, he will soon have too many irons in the fire. He dies and finds a lot of things only half done.” As a youth aiming to achieve many things in life, you must chart a plan for your time else you wear yourself out too soon. Your time-table is your alarm clock to effectively cover all areas of your work. Rest brings refreshment to your body. With a good rest at night you can begin fresh each new day.
In our text, our Lord Jesus called His disciples to rest. They had a very busy day that they could not eat at their right time. Rest is designed by God for man, even at creation He rested on the seventh day. Through Moses, He gave Israel a command to abstain from work on the Sabbath. Friend, remember that all work and no rest will affect your health status. A “desert place” represents a quiet solitary place suitable for meditation and rest from distractions. You too need rest after work.
