Given the stress, uncertainty, and discomfort of modern business travel, it’s important to recognize how the travel experience can test our faith.

A friend recently left a job that had required weekly travel. He loved the airline and hotel loyalty points he accumulated. But once he was no longer on the road every week, he was stunned to realize how exhausting his travel schedule had been.

The writer of Proverbs points out that being restored and rested is critical to surviving the challenging episodes of life.

“If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!” (Proverbs 24:10)

Whether you’re traveling or just in a busy season at work, recognize that rest is an important tool for living out our faith.
