Using Leisure Time Well - Part 2

Here's some more advice on how to use leisure time wisely:

One purpose for leisure time is to be refreshed physically, mentally, and spiritually. That is why God gave us a weekly day of rest, begin to know Him. While on earth, the Lord Jesus knew He and His disciples needed additional times of rest. After becoming wearied by ministry and receiving the disturbing news of John of the Baptist's death, He said to His disciples, "come ye yourselves apart...and rest awhile" (Mark 6:31). Times of rest better equip us to work. As the Puritans said, the one who doesn't take time to rest is like the harvester who doesn't pause to sharpen his scythe and ends up being less productive.

Tomorrow we'll look at how leisure time helps us bond with other believers.
