The Cave

I am so glad you decided to visit today!
The apostle John accomplished great things for God in his pastoral work. But if he had not been forced into exile and forced to sit down in his cave to reflect, we might not have the Revelation. If we don't sit still and stop producing, we may miss moments in our life that produce the most good. If we don't rest from work, we may miss out on the greatest work God has in store for us. Are you running so hard that you're neglecting rest and reflection? You may be missing God's biggest work in your life this season. Sitting still may be the most productive part of your summer. Some of you are running hard right now. Some are compelled by some demon to keep active at all times. Even God rested. Without sitting still, John wouldn't have had a revelation. The same is true for you and me. So take it easy today. Sit down in a cave. It could be the most productive thing you do for your work and your life. It might just be a revelation for your soul.
