| Balancing work, rest and play |
Labor Day is a
holiday observed in the United States to give workers an opportunity to be recognized
for their labor.
God gave Adam a job to do in the Garden of Eden before there were any weeds to pull or crops to grow. Productivity was His goal. After the fall, work became labor for survival. But God even had a plan for that. We don't have to toil in despair when we follow His guidelines for work.
He shows us how diligent work is rewarded. Slothfulness
does not glorify God and neither does running our bodies and minds into
exhaustion. We should live a balanced life between work, rest and play.
