I lived a driven, compulsive life for too many years. My family suffered. Obedience to fourth command is the best antidote I know to drivenness. It is amazing what good advice obedience to God turns out to be. You probably have some people in your group who are given to laziness, while others in your group are given to drivenness.
Many people fail to live the abundant Christian life because of drivenness and over work.
Others are too lazy. Your goal in today's lesson is to move both toward living the disciple's life of a rhythmic balance between work and rest. There are really two commands in the fourth command. See if you can find them both as we read through these verses. You might want to read the passage again before you answer.
