‘Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit.’ Proverbs 23:4(NLT)
Your family can do with less of almost everything if it means having more of you.
The Bible clearly calls us to hard work and to a sacred duty of providing for our families, but in our culture the sin of laziness doesn’t seem to be nearly as common as the sin of overworking. If you are too busy to consistently spend quality time with your family, then you need to immediately re-examine your priorities. On your deathbed, your faith and your family will be all that matters to you, so please don’t wait until then to make them a bigger priority than your work.
Reflection: Am I consistently showing my spouse and family that I love and value them above my pursuits and possessions?
