Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. Worship gives us rest and renews our strength. Without proper worship our work will be done without the power of God. Relying upon our limited resources depletes us.
Worship is for the purpose of energizing our bodies by energizing our spirits.
But there is no way we can truly energize our spirits without God. Worship is a means to find rest as we labor to fulfill God s purpose for our lives. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience. When we worship God understanding our lives from an eternal perspective we enter into God s rest. Our burdens are made lighter as we yoke ourselves up with Jesus Christ.
