Ahhhhhh . . . a good night's sleep, knowing your were able to rest well? Doesn't it feel good to wake up refreshed and satisfied? 😴💤The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the fullness of the rich will not let him sleep.(Ecclesiastes 5:12)
This sounds a bit confusing at first glance; a man who works hard, even though he may be poor can sleep well. But think about it a bit. . . . .
Hard work is satisfying. Hard work is tiring. One who works hard will not waste his efforts either.
However, the man who is always striving for more will never be able to rest. he will always be working to make more . . . buy more . . . obtain more. Even in his sleep he will be restless wondering from where the next thing will come. Even the things he owns will require much attention.
Let's learn from Solomon. Work hard. Be satisfied with God allows. Rest well!
"In the Beginning", the daily REMINDER from The Carroll Outreach Mission (formerly The Sparrows' Nest or TSN), is intended to jump start your day with the Lord. The Bible opens up with , "In the beginning, God..." It is our prayer that you will use this tool to begin or "restart" your day with the Lord! Only what we do for Him will last in the end!
