Are you tired, weary or exhausted today?  Do you look around the house or dorm room or office and see long to-do lists? I know for many it is difficult to stop and rest.  God created the world in six days and then rested.  He did this not because He was tired, but because He was showing us the importance of rest.  2  And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3  So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. (Genesis 2:2-3) Stop what you are doing!  The dishes, laundry, yard work, etc. will still be there tomorrow.  Take a break.   Enjoy God's creation by going to the park with your kids, taking a walk with your spouse, read a book, or take a nap.  Whatever you do, just relax.  It's OK!

Today, I am dragging.  I just could not get out of bed today.  Part of it is the change in weather and it still being dark outside when I wake up.  The other part is a cold that I am battling right now.  Either way, I could use a boost today. What are things you do to get a boost on those slow start mornings?  Coffee, Running, Loud Music, Conversation with Friends,  Lifting Weights, Projects Around the House or Office, etc. As we continue our study on being Holy Spirit Empowered, I am reminded of the word, "power", as it is used in relation to the Holy Spirit.  Many times we are told that we receive power from the Holy Spirit.  So, today I am going to ask for the Holy Spirit to give me a boost. Not just so I can get moving, but so I can be available to be used by Him as I go through my day.
