When does life slow down? Does it need to? I want it to – but when it does, I make it busy again. I keep it busy. Am I trying to hide something – perhaps from myself? It's working – I don't know what it is.

From where comes my incentive to continue doing what I do not want to do. I remind myself of the apostle Paul.

Joe said, “We should seek God's face and not his works. Seeking his works alone is like spiritual pornography.”

I want God, not just what He does.

Am I seeking God's works or am I projecting my works on God? How often do I praise God for the work of my hands? How often do I feign humility, giving God “the glory” for what I have pridefully done without His blessing. 

If I build a spiritual empire, it is still mete for the fire of God.

Could the world be better had God worked on creation's seventh day?

“The Father and I are always at work,” Jesus said. This was not so until the world had fallen. Perhaps now, this is when Christ can work.

“Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.”

Lord, help though my unbelief!
