places seeking rest, and

Spoke to a brother this morning, and immediately felt many of the thoughts swirling in my head clarified. I expressed the concept of "not doing it for the Lord." Easy for Christians to get wrapped up in service: because of a desire to obey, because of a desire to do good, in response to a pulpit command. And all of these reasons are good reasons to be active in a church. But what if the obedience calls for you to do nothing? What if the best way to serve is to let others serve? What if the pulpit command is asking you to take that rest He wants you to take?

Human beings are instilled with a desire to do. Same reason many feel they can earn their way to eternity. It is not human instinct to do nothing, regardless of sloth being included in the seven.

Lord calls for you to rest. In fact, He commands you to do so. If not on Sundays while you buzz buzz buzz in His service, than it better be some other express time when your wings are put to rest. Resting is not reserved for those with AARP cards. Consider not doing anything for Him.
