No TV in the Guest rooms

In Athens, Greece viewing the Parthenon, which sits atop the Acropolis.

Balance and Rest…

Oh what a quiet and peaceful experience we had while traveling, when the airBnB we stayed at did not have televisions in the bedrooms!

Maybe this would not be a welcoming experience for some, but for me it was perfect. The gathering spot was the living room and the television was only in that room. Meanwhile, in the guest rooms there was only a bed to sleep in to actually get some rest!

How can we rest if we are always distracted by noise, commercials, new movies, shows, and programs? How will we ever be able to quiet our souls and rest without hearing the repetitive song we just heard, or think about the commercial or two hour movie we just viewed?

Many of us do not know how to find the balance between leisurely activity and rest. Sometimes our leisure activity weighs in our mind if we are unable to find a quiet place to rest our minds, meditate and hear from God.

Hearing from God will help us with the balance for resting our weary souls. Will we take some time to listen to God and rest?

“Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭116‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Let’s enter into those bedrooms and get some rest!

“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬
