'Tis the season for vacations, and from reading the Gospels, it seems like this is not a subject Jesus is silent on. In Luke 5:16 we're told of Jesus,
"But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray."
So Jesus is pro vacation. That is, He often withdraws to desolate places for times of rest and refreshment. But what does He do for refreshment? It wasn't just board games and movies for Jesus; He prays. This is true rest for the soul.
Don't get me wrong, I think God takes pleasure when His people enjoy all the good gifts He has given (including board games!). But if you've got a vacation coming, look at Christ's example and make some extra time in prayer a priority.
