Work Hard. Rest Well

Work Hard. Rest Well

After the rain the grass springs forth and covers the ground with a blanket of velvet. Where before the ground might have been hard and dry after the grass has grown, it is soft and brings a place of rest. In the same way there are many times in life where things are hard and dry. You invest and you have faith in me and then I send my rain. You understand how to work. You understand how to invest, but today my child I want you to learn the lesson of rest.
For there comes a time when you must stretch out and enjoy the softness. To enjoy the peace and the fruit of all you have invested. For if all you ever did was invest, you leave the fruit for others to eat. If all you do is work hard, you leave the joy for others to experience. No my child. I gave to you hard work and I also gave to you rest. I gave the hard ground for you to toil and I also gave the soft grass for you to rest on. Know how to do both faithfully and you will find strength in me.
It is when you learn to both work hard and rest well that you will find the success that you are looking for. For it is in the moments of working hard the you receive my wisdom on how to get the job done. However it is when you learn to rest that you fill up with my strength to face the next task that is ahead of you.
If all you are doing all the time is toiling, you will lose the strength of my presence. My anointing will wane in your life and you will begin to feel dry again. On the other hand if all you did was rest, you would start to lose sight of my wisdom and you would no longer get the revelation you need to tackle the next responsibility.
So learn to do both. Learn to work with wisdom and then to rest and be filled up in my presence. Today though is a day of rest in me. To sit on the grass and to fellowship with me. To see my face and to hear my voice. To let your heart be filled up so that you can be strengthened. So come and rest in me. Come take my hand and feel my presence once again. Then you will surely find the success that you are looking for says the Lord. Amen.
