Create From Rest: Inspiration for Artists and Entrepreneurs

Then God created coffee, gave it to Adam and said that it was good. 💁🏾‍♀️💖☕️ I hope today as you reflect on the divine and fellowship, eat and drink with others that you take time to savor love, reflect and rest. If this season taught us anything it’s to take a sacred pause and slow down to live more fully and connected to the Source. God gave us rhythms of life that Jesus exemplified for us to thrive and flourish and after He created the world even He rested.

What makes us think we’re exempt from rest if even God did it? Sometimes as artists and creators (and former workaholics who have been redeemed 🙋🏽‍♀️) we forget that the best and most impactful creation comes from resting in God. It’s not just about taking a day of rest which renews and rejuvenates our bodies and minds but also a deep rest of our minds and spirit where we’re not striving and grinding desperately for success and acclaim but creating with care, discovery and diligence from a place of love, peace and security knowing who we are and that our power and success comes from a greater source.

Today as you grab your coffee or beverage of choice take some time to breathe in peace and rest knowing your art and creativity can have more beautiful impact than you ever imagined when you create with your Creator and let go of the pressure to perform and be affirmed by man. You are a creation full of purpose and beauty – rest in that truth.

Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Put My yoke upon your shoulders—it might appear heavy at first, but it is perfectly fitted to your curves. Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble of heart. When you are yoked to Me, your weary souls will find rest. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 (VOICE)

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)

Armies Lyrics

Dangers
Silence
Battle is my story
But Alone
I won’t know
Yeah

That’s my glory

Shadows you will not hide me
I know my King will fight
The God of Angel armies
Is always by my side

Music Pick: Purpose Over Pleasure from Jonathan Traylor



Purpose Over Pleasure from Jonathan Traylor is the perfect theme song for you to embrace as you’re living out your calling and growing closer to God. I first heard the song when Jonathan led worship at Christ for the Nations a few years back and loved the message – that we don’t have time for shenanigans because we’ve got to get serious with living for God and eternity – plus the song is just real catchy and dance-able.
