It sounds cautionary. Motivating. Safe. But it’s not in the Bible. In Hebrew, avodah (work) is often linked to purposeful engagement, not constant busyness. Moses and the prophets sometimes sit and reflect. Silence, not movement, is often commanded. That matters, because older believers feel pressured to always “do something” for God. Retirement, empty nests, slower seasons feel like spiritual failure. Scripture never equates inactivity with sin. It celebrates discernment and reflection as much as action. If you sometimes sit quietly or rest, that does not mean laziness or spiritual weakness. It may mean God is giving space for wisdom to grow. #BibleMisconceptions #FaithAndRest #ChristianReflection #BiblicalWisdom #DidYouKnow
