Read Mark 6:31 (https://bit.ly/2wwv7gx)

Ever get so busy you didn’t have time to eat? Perhaps you have an important job. One more person needed an appointment even though you were fully booked. You gladly gave up your lunch hour for them. Or maybe you’re a mom juggling your kids’ schedules and have time to feed them but not yourself, unless you count the macaroni and cheese they left on their plates. Jesus and His disciples were faced with that same dilemma after spending all day ministering to people. What did Jesus tell them? “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” He didn’t tell them they had to wait for another day. Jesus cares about your needs. He doesn’t want you to wear yourself out doing for others so you’re no good to anyone. Come aside with Jesus to a quiet place and He will give you rest.
