Staples has reported in a market survey that 19% of the working population does not stop at all for lunch. Another market group reports that 48% of a firm researched eats in less than 30 minutes (read it here )
We are being given a load of this
I would argue that it is stupid for ANYONE to be so caught up in whatever they are doing to not stop and slow down and eat. The health benefits far outweigh whatever you can think about doing in an hour (accept maybe surfing, but nothing else!)
What are we actually claiming with our actions?
1. We are so important that if we stop working the whole machine will stop
2. I am the only one in the planet who can do what I do
When God told his people to be still and know that He was God he did not mean while you were in the bathroom, or watching TV, or doing a puzzle or anything else you do to "unwind".
He said it while his people where up the Red Sea with no paddle, in the midst of life with all kids of craziness happening all around them.
Was God being impractical?
..oh, but he didn't have my job, or my boss, or my....
No, He is God.
Stop. Breath. Let God be God.
Take a good lesson from folks who know what it's like to crash and burn
"Let Go. Let God."
....and clergy, this is really for us first, or are you too busy too?
