Warning lights.
The dashboard of all cars have a few little lights that seldom go on, but when they do it is time to take note. A significant warning light indicates low fuel reserves. You can ignore the warning, look away and hope for the best. But actually you should look for a petrol station sooner, rather than later.
Another little light indicates low oil. Once again, it is just a silly light and you can choose to ignore it at your peril.
Another serious warning light indicates that your engine is over-heating. Ignoring these warning lights can cause inconvenience or even great financial pain.
God built into every human being warning lights – over-tired, over-stressed, over-anxious.
No matter how strong you are, you have limits. You can ignore the signs and just go on, or you can pull over and attend to the problem. You may have to adjust your diet or take a break. Six days’ work, seventh day rest may not be an old wife’s tale. It may be God’s way of avoiding inconvenience and great financial loss.
Mark 6:31, “Come with me to a quiet place and get some rest.”
