Takeaways:

Spiritual health requires discipline and habits that shape our souls.

The first one doesn’t require as much effort as it does intentionality

Rest (Sabbath)

• The sabbath was given by God to his people as a gift to rest and be healthy for the long run.
• When we feel that we have too much to do, it is easy to convince ourselves that we do not have the time to take breaks.
• For Martha, she got too busy doing things for Jesus and forgot how to listen to Jesus. Mary was able to slow down and listen

Solitude

• There is a need for us to recharge spiritually. Many of us don’t really know how to stop our constant activity and recharge.

Discussion Questions:

• Do you find yourself resonating more with Martha or Mary? Why?
• What beliefs might need to change in order for us to rest the way God intends for us?
• What would keep you from taking some time of solitude with God?
• Why do you think God chooses to speak to us in rest and in the quiet?
