Happy Labor Day!!!

I hope you all are enjoying this Labor Day weekend with loved ones!

We have spent this Labor Day weekend in the cutest little coastal town, Southport with family!

Today, I am blogging September’s edition of “Motivation Monday!”

In honor of Labor Day and resting this weekend from lots of labor that our country puts in day in and day out, I thought I would blog about how can find rest in Jesus!

Life can be filled with lots of challenges… keeping up with daily chores, busy work schedules, worrying about loved ones, caring for those in need, trying to keep relationships strong through everyday life demands, etc..

You may even be faced with something heavier.

These things can cause worry and restlessness.

But over and over, in the Bible Jesus says, “bring your burdens to me and I will give you rest.”

If we can trust God in some aspects, we need to trust Him in these everyday aspects too!

Next time you find yourself burdened or carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, bring it all to Jesus!

When we lay all of our worries at His feet, it releases us from worry. We’re giving our problems to the creator of the world!

If we can trust Him to keep the world turning and each day, we can trust Him in our lives too!

I’m going to leave you with this…

It’s been a while since I quoted this from the book, “Draw the Circle” by Mark Batterson:

“We’re on a planet that’s spinning at a thousand miles per hour, traveling through space. We never doubt God’s ability to keep the planets in orbit, yet we worry about God keeping our lives in orbit.”

Let that sink in.

It’s one of my favorite quotes!

Let’s find rest in Jesus! He provides the ultimate peace that we all seek!

Today’s post is short & sweet for Labor Day but I hope it encouraged you to find rest on this holiday + all of the days to come!

*I will be back on the blog, tomorrow!*
