No rest for the weary?

Lest my Chain of Daisies post leave you frustrated and exhausted from workaholism, I want to clarify. The implication of this post is not that rest is from the devil. However, it is an implicit warning that we ARE accountable for our time and what we do within that time.

How much of the world is in your thoughts and actions? How much time are you spending watching movies or listening to the radio? How much time is spent in selfish puruits with no thought to God or His Great Commission?

How many of us, when we go on vacation, also go on a vacation from God? Are we remembering to bring Him into our family fun times? Are we teaching our children about loving God and loving our neighbours? Are we practically outworking that love in all that we say and do?

Rest is mandated through example in Scripture. The Creator rested one day a week and commanded us to do the same. That means we get 52 days off per year. These are NOT days off from God! In fact, it's the opposite.

What did Jesus do on His time off? It was all about refreshment and reconnecting with the Father.

What will you do on YOUR next day off?
