Catch Some Zzz’s…

Lyrics to “I Got The Keys”.  “Key to life, keep a bag comin' Every night another bag comin'.  I ain't been asleep since '96, I ain't seen the back of my eyelids. I been speedin' through life with no safety belt”.

You think was Jay Z was just “talking” when he laid that track?  We can only talk about what we know intimately from a place that has been experienced personally.

One of the worst mornings a person can have is to wake up groggy and tired from not having a good night’s rest.

It’s a mirage… the money.  What we’re all chasing is what we think the money can give us, and that’s rest.  Everyone always says that when they get the money, they’ll be able to relax and when they get the money, they find out that there’s hardly a time of respite let alone rest; instead they spend time - stealing time; trying to get a quick getaway trip in, instead of allowing God a word in edgewise, so that He will give us the rest that eludes us.

Methamphetamine, crack, cocaine, molly; the Redbulls, Monsters, Rockstars and 5 Hour energy drinks; and even a good ole fashioned stiff alcoholic drink will invigorate you until it takes its toll and the depressant effect kicks in - and so on and so forth…

All stimulants meant to rob you of your rest; up for days and nights at a time. 

People are in search of that rest till they rush pass this life by means of suicide in order to experience it.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

“And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest”

God since the beginning has known the value of rest.  And our enemy has known the value of what not receiving said rest can do to a weary spirit - Easy prey.  The remedy is Easy - pray.

That jet-setting lifestyle has you burning through the fuel of life; hardly any quality time with loved one or the needed rest to re-fuel, re-charge and re-energize.  From one event to the next; and it appears glamorous but how much longer can you continue to eat sand and think its water?  How many times must we run towards the oasis and find out that it’s only another mirage?

“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Redbull may give you wings, but only God gives you rest.  Only in Him can we Catch Some ZZZ’s…

God please take the wheel and the keys…
