Monday's Lesson Study - The Need of Rest

What signals does your body send to you, telling you it's time to slow down and rest? How well do you listen?

The Clear Water center for health and wellbeing lists the following signs of sleepiness :

Loss of alertness
Yawning, especially if it is frequent
Bloodshot, tired or sore eyes
Difficulty focusing eyes, or eyes going out of focus
Blinking for longer than usual amounts of time
Slurred or lazy speech
Difficulty in keeping head up
Arms and legs feel heavy
Reduced ability to do physical tasks, such as pouring water into a glass without spilling
Reduced ability to do mental tasks, such as reading a clock
Slow reaction time
Lack of concentration, mind wandering or day dreaming
Clumsiness
Difficulty following a conversation
Disorientation

Read Exodus 23:12. What reason is given there for rest?

Rest is given to refresh the body. The body needs time to rest and restore itself. When we allow the body this time it can function optimally.

Prayer: Father Please help us to get the rest that we need. Reveal to us the importance of this lesson. Help us not to violate this law of health. Thank you Father in Jesus name Amen.
