Work was life and then you have this Sabbath rhythm that's built into creation, but then commanded as part of the Ten Commandments.

It was meant to be an overt interruption to the work life.

It was a setting aside of the work life for another purpose, for the rest and glory of God.

And it doesn't mean that everything stopped when you rested.

Like it didn't mean that your tasks were completed.

It meant you still had to stop

in the middle of everything and honor the Lord with your day in a different way. It's a real act

of trust, I think. Well, when you're in harvest time, one seventh of your time is extremely valuable.

It's this way of reminding the human heart that, hey, you're not the one who brings forth

But also, what's another contributing factor? Well, maybe you're in a season of harvest. And for us, that's usually like the later end of the year. And it's kind of like it's a push.

And so there's other things that kind of get pushed to the wayside because we're focusing on harvesting well.

And then there's seed time, which is a different season.

And so I think no matter what season you find yourself in, you have to either recognize it's a season.

And if you are working hard, like, what are you, what are you sacrificing? Why? How long?

And why do I feel like maybe you're putting work above me? Like, why would I? Yeah.

And define work. Like, yeah. There's a lot of things to hash out. Right. So if you're, if you're watching
