Work - Deuteronomy 5:12-14

DIVINE RHYTHM: Because God knows us and loves us, He has established for us a rhythm of life that makes our lives abundant and sustainable. That rhythm is one of work and then rest, work and then rest. When we work, we are to work hard and do our work unto the Lord. But then we are to set aside time for rest and worship! Time to rejuvenate our minds and our bodies. And time to refocus our hearts on the Lord, the sustainer of our lives. When we neglect this rhythm, we do so to our own peril. So, when is your Sabbath rest? And are you using that rest for the purposes that God has designated?

PRAY: Lord of the Sabbath, too often I live my life for me and occasionally give You the leftovers. Forgive me! Lord, help me to be thoughtful and disciplined about keeping a rhythm of sabbath rest in my life. I need You, and I need rest! AMEN
