Self Stewardship

Have you ever felt like you’re running on empty? Like no matter how much you try to slow down, life keeps pushing you forward? In today’s fast-paced world, rest is often seen as a luxury, not a necessity. But what if I told you that God actually commands us to rest—not just physically, but spiritually too?
The world’s idea of rest is simple: take a nap, go on vacation, relax. But biblical rest goes much deeper. It’s about renewal, restoration, and trusting God enough to let go of our constant striving.

We all have those habits—the ones we know we should quit but somehow keep coming back to. Maybe it’s procrastination, stress-eating, endless social media scrolling, or falling into negative self-talk. We try to stop, but before we know it, we’re right back in the same cycle.
But here’s the thing—breaking bad habits isn’t just about willpower. It’s about inviting God into the process, learning self-discipline, and making small, intentional changes every day.

Spring is a season of renewal—a time to shake off the dormancy of winter and embrace fresh beginnings. Many people use this season to engage in spring cleaning, decluttering their homes and getting rid of unnecessary items that have accumulated over time. But have you ever considered that just as our physical spaces need refreshing, our hearts and minds do too?
