Today is Day 6 of the 7 Day Feast of Tabernacles, which is like a fall harvest festival, and it's a time to rejoice in the harvest.  Tabernacles is a reminder of the Sabbath, and that Jesus wants to give us rest in our soul. 

In Matthew 11:28 Jesus said that if we come to him he would give us rest. One of the biggest areas we must learn to rest in, is in our soul. The opposite of resting in our soul is toiling, worrying, trying to figure things out, and being frantic and out of control. 

Something I have observed is that when I am toiling, frantic, or even rushing it steals time and actually makes me less productive. It's counterintuitive but resting in our soul allows us to be more efficient and productive while enjoying the process much more. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude for rest in our soul. And we are asking God to help us receive his rest and live in his rest continually. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

One of the ways to practice resting in our soul is during our workouts. While we are doing exercise we can practice staying at rest in our soul, which means totally calm, present, and under control. One of my goals in training is to be able to do more while being at rest in my soul. 

 I am praying for you.

Daniel
