The Reason To Rest


Work is a necessary part of life - a part of God appointed to us even before our relationship with Him was fractured in Genesis 3. 

We too might at times feel like we're chasing after the wind and grow frustrated by in our inability to finish our work. But when we remember that God is part of our labor - our purpose - we can both work hard and take time to rest. We can trust Him to be our Provider, for He's the giver of all things. Solomon acknowledges that without Him, who can eat or find enjoyment? Perhaps by reminding ourselves of that truth, we can work diligently for Him and also allow ourselves times of rest.  

God, You bring meaning and purpose to all my labors.
