Working for God's Kingdom whilst rembering to rest

Today I started to work at 6:45am which was a real challenge to be up in time but as there was not much excuse like that there was traffic along the way which is lame excuse. Whilst working I was feeling really tired from the previous day but I was trying to keep my spirits up knowing that I am serving for God's kingdom.

How do we keep the momentum going without feeling as though we are wearing slowly into burn out mode. The importance of rest is so important now a days where we can keep going and not take a break. If I did not take a break for 15 mins just to be I would of over cooked myself.

So why do we need to rest in Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. {29} "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. {30} "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

So I have now finished work for the day an hour a go and now enjoying my rest period before fulfilling my role as working for God's Kingdom by helping to serve dinner. Then enjoying my day off tomorrow with hopefully having a long lie in.
