SPIRITUAL REST
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light”
(Matthew, 11: 28-30)

SIX DAYS OF WORKLaziness
is criticized in the Old Testament
.
A lazy man buries his hand in the
bowl, and will not so
much as bring it to his mouth
again. (Proverbs, 19: 24)
The lazy man will not plow because
of winter;he will beg during harvest and have
nothing. (Proverbs, 20: 4)
I went past the field of the sluggard, past the vineyard of the man who
lacks judgment;thorns had come up everywhere,the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins.I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I
saw:A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—and poverty will come on you like a
bandit, and scarcity like an armed man (Proverbs, 24: 30-34 NVI)
