Simplify your life

Apr 5, 2024

‘"Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”’Matthew 1 1:28 CSB

The average office worker is bombarded each day with over 200 messages via email, texts, WhatsApp, Messenger, and social media. In fact, one in three managers gets sick because of information overload. It makes you wonder, if technology is saving us all this time and energy, how come we’re so frazzled? Success presents more opportunities for the Enemy to run you into the ground. That’s no way to live, and it certainly isn’t God’s will for you.

Don’t wait until you hit bottom, get fired, throw away your life, settle for a dead-end job, or lose your family. Don’t wait until you’re too old, too grumpy, and too locked into your lifestyle. Today, Jesus is saying to you, ‘"Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.’ (Matthew 11:28-29 CSB).

Leadership expert and Christian author Phil Cooke says: ‘The Lord can’t relieve the pressure while you’re in the wrong place, at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing, with the wrong people. If you climb the corporate ladder and neglect your family, His hands are tied because your priorities are out of order. When you’re in God’s will, you can work hard but travel light! He’ll carry your burdens and take the weight. Simplifying your life may mean working fewer hours, scheduling downtime and investing more in your loved ones. Businesses, assignments, personalities and situations are all different, but these principles hold true for everyone.’

So the word for today is – simplify your life.
