His Heartbeat with Sue Corl
#111 Leaders Need Rest Too
Do you feel too busy to rest? DeLonda Adams, Podcaster of Girl Rest shares with us the importance of getting rest and how to find it in the midst of our busy lives. She points out that "Not all self-care is soul care, but all soul-care is self-care." She leads "Rest Retreats," has a podcast, and coaches women on how to find rest. She discovered that the more she experienced His grace, the more she felt rested. As a leader, we are passionate about helping others, but we often get exhausted doing it.
DeLonda says that pride and unbelief are the main reasons we do not experience rest. Too often we depend on our own energy, wisdom, and goals, rather than God's source and plans. If we trust Him, He will make a way for us to accomplish all He has called us to do. When we take a rest, we can hear God and get perspective. Trust in God that we can take a day from our work (a Sabbath) and still accomplish all that God has for us.
Often we are busy for ourselves, not for God. We often believe the lies that if we are not busy then we are not obeying God or we are not important. When we base our identity on what we do, we will not take time to rest. We need to check our hearts to see what is the root of our ambitions: to please God, to please others, or to get value from what we do. Are our ambitions selfish?
If we are so busy that we do not have time for each other or for God, then we should evaluate if we are really doing too much. We need time to have soul-rest with God. We also need healing so we are not striving or operating out of wounds. DeLonda asks us if "we are busy because we are following the Lord, or following the values of the world?
The Sabbath is a day when we can rest our souls. Bring God into it. Do not leave God out of your day of rest. If we leave Him out, we will still feel depleted. Come to Him and take His yoke which is light. During spiritual rest times, we can think through the challenges of our lives and He will give us perspective and help to process them. True soul rest is going deeper with God.
