Labour Day or Rest Day?

Luke 10:38-42

Yesterday was Labour Day (1st May) and it is a day declared in Singapore to be a rest day for all. Did you have a good rest? Or will you busy doing many things?

On Monday night, I slept late(doing school work) ...at about 1am and I was to look after Emmanuel that night cos dennis wasn't feeling well......so in between, woke up at 3 - 4 times and then at about 730am or so....baby Emmanuel started to awake.....*but thank goodness dennis volunteered to take over* but I was awake as well......then feeding time, playing time, bathing time, work time, feeding time, work time, etc.....and the list went on and on...and when I came to the end of the day....I couldn't help it but ask God saying "Lord...I'm so tired.....it's supposed to be a rest day today...but I'm so busy......all I long is just some time to sit down and relax and just be alone....and there are so many more things ahead"

As I was telling this to the Lord, I was still busy doing alot of things....and finally I went to feed Emmanuel for his night feeding...that's when I was suddenly reminded of this verse and the Lord said "My dear Dellia, you are so upset over all these details! There is only thing worth being concerned about. Have you discovered it - and I won't take it away from you!"

"But Lord" I said. "I can't help it.....these are things that I have to do...I have no choice...if I don't do it, then how?" The Lord listened and suddenly I quieten down and I understood. Yes, these are tasks that are necessary and I need to do it.....but why don't I trust God and when I choose to sit at His feet, all these will be settled........I have seen how the Lord multiply my time when I chose Him first....I've seen how He has blessed me when I put Him first....so what's the difference for today.

I finally understood again. It is true that these things are necessary to do. It has to be done. I'm not saying that the things will be done automatically, but I can choose to be like Mary, waiting on the Lord, sitting at His feet and believing in Him...because as I do it, He will never shortchange me.

Today, are you so busy with life that you choose to only spend time with the Lord before your bedtime? Are you so busy that you hardly find time to even rest? THen today is the day where you need to lay it down, sit at His feet and turn your eyes upon Jesus!
