One of the poorest decisions I made as a coach was to avoid rest during our 56 game schedule. We played games on Sunday but I would seldom set aside another day for rest. For a driven, competitive person it takes discipline and Godly priorities to do what is best for our families, and our spiritual, mental and physical needs. Who are we that we will not follow Jesus’ lead?
“Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’”
(Mark 6:31)
“There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.” — Alan Cohen
