Week 2 Day 7

There is a vast difference in resting and striving. Resting in business is critical to maintaining the momentum that is built without burn out. But when thinking about resting, the tasks of each day come to mind. How can you rest and still be productive?

Striving comes from working without the help of Jesus. Resting comes from remaining in His peace and His presence as you do tasks. It really is difficult to describe, but easy to feel the difference. In our own power, we can accomplish, or we can accomplish in partnership, letting Him bring the momentum out of His joy, not out of us pushing.

Questions for today - How do you typically operate in business? Do you rest or do you strive? 

What triggers take you out of the rest of Jesus and make you feel like you gotta fix it?

Resting is synonymous with tending....striving with toiling. Ask Jesus how you can practically implement one activity/exercise that will remind you to rest. 

Striving and toiling can come from not knowing or believing that Jesus wants to grow your business as much as you do....Ask Jesus to reveal again his desire for you to grow while you trust Him.
