Accomplishment and Rest

There is no extra credit for arriving in heaven exhausted. Do the work God has asked you to do, not what you perceive that others think you should do. When your choices are based on His purpose for your life, you’ll find that you will also have the time (and desire) to fulfill His commands, which include taking time to simply “be still” (Psalm 46:10) and to “fear not; stand still; and see the salvation of the Lord” (Exodus 14:13). His plan doesn’t create an either/or. It is the greatest possible combination of accomplishment and rest.
