“Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind.” Ecclesiastes 4:6, The Bible (English Standard Version)
It’s easy to push ourselves to the limit, working every hour that God sends.
We sign-up for over-time, we don’t take our
breaks – then work and personal life blends...
We overlook the boundaries that we ran past
and become more stressed instead.
Rather than being full of energy, laughter
and life, all we want is to sleep in bed.
This scripture reminds us that having quietness can be the centre of taking time out.
We can find peace, clarity and hope while giving
us space to remove any doubt.
Who told you that you have to work every hour,
striving and chasing after the air?
You are also made to rest, love and live; look
after your body, do take care.
