I think one of the great sources of laziness in otherwise very hard-working people is neglecting the Sabbath. God may have commanded us to work, but you miss that God also commanded us to rest! If you don't take a Sabbath, if you insist on working and studying on that day that is the Lord's instead of resting and (even worse) worshipping, then you will sink into laziness! Worship on Sunday, and spend the rest of the day playing. We need play, and God knew that, which is why we are commanded to take the Sabbath! Or, if you are actively pastoring, take another day of rest, but TAKE IT! God is not calling us to work endlessly. Loss of Balance is a huge problem. Take a Sabbath!!!!
