It's so indicative of our culture (secular and church) that you have to caveat, "you need to rest!" with "I am not trying to encourage laziness or lack of discipline." Hopefully, one day Christians can embrace rest without feeling less than. God rested after He worked/created. Why can't we?

So true! Caveats are so telling! We include them for fear of being judged, dismissed and misconstrued! Great observation.

Beautiful post! I think of all the “corporate business books” I read when I was younger on how to succeed, and how God and His Sabbath rest were never a chapter in those books.

What price has been paid by those employers and employees?

A high price.
