August is a transitional month. It is a time when vacations come to an end and everyone gets ready to get back on the grid. God created us all in a way where we need to take time to relax and get reinvigorated. This is why he commanded us to have one day set aside to rest. It is one of the main ways that we manage ourselves is to take into account the need to be renewed and refreshed. I would encourage you that throughout the year be intentional about operating at a reasonable pace. Trusting God involves allowing Him to lead you to do what He orders you and let all that other stuff be left in his hands. Too often we are trying to do too much and contributing to our own demise because we are not taking into account the limits of our humanity.

God can do anything and everything but you on the other hand can only do what God allows you to do. It is important to know your limitations and trust God who is unlimited. As we step back into the fray, let us go forward in a way where we can run the race with patience and finish strong!
