EXODUS 18:14–24; MARK 6:31
Jethro warned Moses that he would wear himself out alone as a judge over the Israelites. He suggested delegating his work and sharing the burden with others to avoid exhaustion.
Self-care is crucial for a healthy life, as it involves loving God and others, getting adequate rest, and sometimes stepping away and allowing others to help with our burdens. This balance between love and rest is essential for a fulfilling Christian life.
Jesus often slipped away for prayer and rest (Mark 6:30–32). We will be better equipped to care for others and be more effective in our relationships when we imitate Him.
🙏 Dear Lord, refresh our spirits today. Help us to bring balance to our lives as we juggle our responsibilities. Thank You for Your love and care.
