30 And the Apostles
gathered themselves together to Jesus, and told him all things, both
what they had done, and what they had taught. 31 And he said unto
them, Come ye apart into the wilderness, and rest a while: for there
were many comers and goers, that they had not leisure to eat.
Brethren:
The harvest is
great, and we must daily continue to work at it. However we must
likewise find time to be alone with our Creator in order that we
might commune with Him and be refreshed and renewed (Read
Lamentations 3:22-24; 2 Corinthians 4:16) by Him. This is needed so
that we can be most effective in the speaking, teaching and spreading
of the Gospel of Christ.
Friends, every
person must at times cease from labor in order that they may rest and
restore their strength and energy. And so it is with the children of
God. Take rest daily, whether in the mornings or evenings, (for
during the day we labor towards reaching the lost, and returning them
to the fold), so that we might study (Read Mark 4:25) to grow hardier
and stronger in the words of God. - Dr. RVZ
“Come ye
yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while:” where they
might be free from noise and hurry, and take some rest and
refreshment, after their wearisome journey, hard labours, and great
fatigue in preaching and working miracles; which shows the great
compassion tenderness, and care of Christ, for his disciples” -
John Gill 17th Century Theologian
