Ready, Set, Renew
God has built certain RHYTHMS into our lives so that we come face to face with our frailty and God’s sufficiency. He graciously draws our attention to the weakness in our lives so that we will look to him for strength. Think about the normal patterns of life that point to our need for renewal.
60 to 100 heartbeats a minute
12 to 20 breaths a minute
2 to 3 meals per day
The morning and evening cycle of activity and rest
The weekly cycle of work and Sabbath
The monthly cycle of the moon that grows and fades
The yearly seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter
Each of these RHYTHMS remind us of our need for REST, RENEWAL, and REFRESHMENT. It’s a RENEWAL that can only be found in the life-giving fountain of God, through the Scripture and through the Spirit.
