I am beginning to realize that Life is an ongoing event. The minute you think that you have it together or something seems complete, something happens and here comes a new adventure for you to tackle. I awoke this morning feeling good but feeling bad. I have a few projects that I needed to work on but didn't do this weekend. I only had one day off (Sunday) and I spent it doing nothing. My wife and I laid in the bed all morning just watching television. It felt great physically, but mentally it was bothering me. I feel as if I need to utilize all of my free time. This way, I can have more time to relax when the opportunity presents itself.
I think this is how a lot of people feel. They want to accomplish all of their goals in a timely manner and then they can relax. Well, I think God designed us a little differently than what we think. As I was resting yesterday, I started thinking to myself that I was just being lazy. I remembered the statement that my great grandmother always made-Laziness will kill you. I got a little discourage and I was a little ashamed at myself. But then as I was laying there thinking, the thought of the creation of the world crossed my mind. I remembered that part in the bible where it stated that on the sabbath, he rested. This made me think, if God can rest after creating the world, then surly his children can.
Its ok for us to rest as long as we are doing work that deserves a break. Sometimes, this is all we need in order to get us back on the right track. Its not about how much we can do in a short period of time but rather the quality of what we have done in the short time we were given. Take a little time and rest. If God could rest after six days of work, then we certainly can. We are suppose to follow his lead.
