The Rhythms of Pause

For as long as I can remember, society has depicted the mindset of keeping up with the Jones’ and so we fill our time, max our resources, labor until we burn out, ultimately to fail, and then we start all over again. The byproduct of that idiom has set the tempo of our lives to hurry in everything we do and It is a most unnatural rhythm for daily living. 

Hebrews 4:10-11 … For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.  

When was the last time you were encouraged to labor for pause and rest? 

“⏸️” is just one of the many practices and resting points that allow us to apprentice Jesus and to live in complete understanding of the fullness of life, peace, and power that comes from God. He is our only source and we are hardwired to be the reflection of Him. We have been gloriously designed to live and experience two separate Kingdoms… The Kingdom we live in and the Kingdom of God. This gives us the special ability to walk in perfect union with our creator wherever we are and experience His presence as we follow the path of Jesus. 

Spiritual disciplines like “Pause” are habits based on the lifestyle of Jesus that create time and space for us to access the presence and power of the Father and in doing so, we become transformed and renovated by the spirit. 

Think about it. What is a discipline? In general here’s a standard definition. A discipline is any activity I can do by direct effort that will eventually enable me to do that which currently I cannot do by direct effort. The ultimate goal of practicing PAUSE is to establish the natural rhythms that come as we practice spiritual disciplines that provide union and presence with God, and the spiritual growth, health, and resilience to thrive as His loved beloved children.

In this guidebook, you will have an opportunity to experience the Rhythms of “⏸️” and how to practice them. They are renovating my personal walk. I have been in a environment of ministry and serving as a bi-vocational pastor for over 35 years, I have perpetually experienced highs and lows, victories and many failures. As I learn the spiritual disciplines that come as I ⏸️; The rhythms and tempo of my walk on the Path of Jesus have set me on a journey that I have longed for all of my life. 

My prayer is that you will take the time to unclutter your life, and learn to ⏸️. It’s rhythms will renovate you!
