God values rest to the extent He gave rest to the land. The book of Leviticus says "What grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, nor gather the grapes of your intended vine, FOR IT IS A YEAR OF REST FOR THE LAND. If God could rest after six days of work, there is no human being that should not value rest. Rest precedes productivity. After resting, you become alert, creature and more productive. It confers wisdom and clarity.
Rest was so important that God declared a day as a Sabbath day for Holy Rest - it's a day of NO WORK. If people can value this gift from God, we'll have more productivity and excellence. People will be basking in the glory of healthy living. Be reminded that the time of rest should not be more than the time of work. God wants us to work for 6 days and rest on the 7th day. It means there is more work than rest. It is a sluggard (lazy fool) that rests more than he/she works. Solomon with the wisdom of God described vividly the end of this man. He said, "A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, so shall your poverty come like a prowler and your need like an armed man." Too much of rest leads to want and poverty. Remember, the number of your work days should be more than the number of your rest days.
