These type of things do have a way of getting us out of our routine and tiring us out. No wonder we all had felt like taking a break. I wanted you to see how the comfort of all depends on each doing her share faithfully. It was obvious to me that beyond re-establishing our routine, we had to work on our hearts. Our hearts had to be into our work.
Work is a blessing.
God has so arranged the world that work is necessary, and He gives us hands and strength to do it. The enjoyment of leisure would be nothing if we had only leisure. It is the joy of work well done that enables us to enjoy rest, just as it is the experiences of hunger and thirst that make food and drink such pleasures. Well, we had a good start to the week. And they said, Let us rise up and build.
