And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. Mark 6:31

In today's society of high speed everything, we tend to burn out. Sometimes we just need a break--physically, emotinally, mentally, and spiritually. That's what happened here to the disciples, and Jesus pulled them aside. Rest is important. Without it our bodies weaken, our mental clarity and sharpness diminishes, and our spirit becomes worn down. Every now and then take some time to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Spiritually, take some time to get away with the Lord. You're sure to come back refreshed.
