"Six days a week are for your daily duties and your regular work, but the seventh day is a day of Sabbath rest before the Lord your God. On that day you are to do no work of any kind, nor shall your son, daughter, or slaves-whether men or women-or your cattle or your house guests. For in six days the Lord made the heaven, earth, and sea, and everything in them, and rested the seventh day; so he blessed the Sabbath day and set it aside for rest." (Ex 20:8-11 TLB)
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! Well, I don't know about Jack's dullness, but I do know that without periods of rest and recuperation, we will suffer burn out! That was never God's intention for us. There must be balance! Try Work and Worship; it’s a great counter balance.
Prayer: Lord, help us to follow your example and command to work and rest. Amen!
Deut 5:12-15. . . . "'Keep the Sabbath day holy. This is my command. Work the other six days, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God; no work shall be done that day by you or by any of your household-your sons, daughters, servants, oxen, donkeys, or cattle; even foreigners living among you must obey this law. Everybody must rest as you do. TLB
