DidYouKnow+FollowGod never said “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop.” 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 #DidYouKnow191Share
DidYouKnow+FollowGod never said exhaustion means you lost faith. We often spiritualize endurance. As if real faith never gets tired. But Scripture names exhaustion without condemnation. Elijah asks to die. Jesus sleeps through the storm. Even faith rests. That matters, because many older believers feel ashamed of being tired. They served. They endured. They stayed. And now they feel empty. The Bible does not call exhaustion a moral failure. It calls it human. If you feel tired in your faith, that does not mean devotion faded. It may mean you gave more than anyone saw. #BibleMisconceptions #SpiritualExhaustion #FaithAndRest #ChristianReflection #DidYouKnow605Share
