What is life’s biggest time-waster? For those of us who are serious about Christ’s lordship over every area of life, the most common answer is: neglecting rest. Here’s what happens. Dedicated Christian thinks every moment should be spent in productive God-honoring work. Everything else is a time-waster, supposedly. This sounds noble and spiritual…but there is a problem. His humanity gets in the way. Because he is made in the image of God, Dedicated Christian is designed to work then rest. Rest refreshes him from his work and enables him to do more work. When Dedicated Christian neglects his rest, he becomes exhausted. When he becomes exhausted, his work becomes less productive. When his work is less productive, he doubles down and works even longer and rests less. This cycle continues until he eventually burns out. Burnout is life’s biggest time-waster.
Make the most of your time. Discipline yourself to be well rested.
