Days Off Do Not Equate To Life Off!

​Most people value a day off.  A "Day Off" is usually a day off from school or work or some other daily activity that requires a majority of our time and effort.  A day off provides the opportunity for us to either rest from all of the other previous days or an opportunity to get caught up for the upcoming period of time.  Successful people understand the need for both rest and the need to get caught up.  If you have been working hard and burning the candle at both ends, in order to be successful, and if rest has been put on hold during that period of time, then a day of rest has been earned and should be utilized.  Rest and recovery is essential for any improvement.  However, if we have found ourselves less productive, or in a season of procrastination or low motivation, or if we have had some other form of either voluntary or involuntary rest, then using the extra time during a "day off" to catch up on things, that have fallen behind or even use the time to get ahead, is wise.  Days off are a break from our routine, but they have a purpose.  God took a day off.  He wants us to as well.  But that day off (sabbath) has a purpose.   Days off shouldn't simply be wasted.  We need to put some intentional thought into our "days off" so that they are most beneficial to our future goals.
