And he said, “Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”
Job 1:21
Believe it or not, I remember being told that computers were going to make like so much easier because we wouldn't have to work so hard and we would have more free time. And that has turned out to be a lie! Computers have made work easier and faster, but do we REALLY have more "free time" or do we just rush through life to get to the next task without stopping? There are those who applaud and reward those who put their nose to the grindstone and work becomes their life while everything else falls by the wayside.
Think about this: We each are allowed a limited number of sunrises. We each are allowed a limited number of moments with our loved ones. We each are allowed a limited number of days to travel this Earth. So why rush past so many of them?
Read today's verse again: "I brought nothing into this world and I will take nothing when I leave." So.....why spend so much time, energy, and effort pursuing what we cannot take with us? Don't misunderstand me, we are commanded to give our best at work, but we are also commanded to rest and relax as well. Just food for thought.
