Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop. –Ovid
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. Hebrews 4:9
After a seven innings, there he was sitting on the bench. The young man had pitched over 100 pitches and what he didn’t see could be seen by his coach. So his coach sat him down in order to give his arm a rest before the next game. What a wise coach!
Many times we wonder why it seems as if we aren’t being used by the Lord. It seems as if He has sat us on the bench. Well, while it may seem He has benched us for eternity what He is really doing is preparing us for the next place of service!
Stay faithful Child of God! Get the rest He has given you! It may be for a few days or months but gear up and take advantage of it! What a privilege to sit on the bench preparing for the place of service God is preparing!
