Happy New Year!!! I can’t believe it’s new year. I enjoy this time because it always brings new goals, resolutions and commitments. It’s a time where I can refocus and renew.

We often set our minds on accomplishing tasks that we have put off the year before or even taking risks and getting out of our comfort zones.

I believe one important aspect of achieving the things we set our minds to is rest. Our bodies have a range of capacity to deal with long work hours and stress but we need rest.

Rest can be a point of surrender. By faith, you acknowledge that your work is not in vain. By faith, you acknowledge that even though you are resting, God is not and He is working things out for your good.

Unless the Lord builds the house,
    the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
    the guards stand watch in vain.In vain you rise early
    and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
    for he grants sleep to those he loves.

Psalm 127:1-2

This year, consider moments where you can rest physically, emotionally and spiritually and watch how it works in your favor!

What are some commitments you have for the new year?
