Do You Have Enough Rest?

Today I just came back from a church camp. I managed to catch a cab home. But this cab was no ordinary cab. It was a new Eco-Cab.

During the church camp, Pastor Yeang Cherng actually talked about this new Eco-Cab. The thing about the Eco-Cab is this: it runs on gas, not diesel. Gas costs half of what diesel costs.

The catch is this, you can only refuel the Eco-Cab in Jurong Island (which is all the way in the west). When the gas runs dry and you cannot refuel in time, the Eco-Cab will need to run on its batteries. And it's very expensive to do it.

It's kind of analogous to life. For instance, when we work normally, we're using the gas in us. When we rest sufficiently, we can replenish our energy.

However, when we work very hard, and begin to work so hard that we have not time to rest, we will end up using our batteries. If our batteries are used extensively, it will cost us dearly to replenish our energy. This 'cost' may come in the form of burn-outs, sicknesses, losing relationships with our loved ones, etc.

Hebrews 4:11 (NIV)
"Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience. "
