Exodus 5-8

In Exodus 5:5 Pharaoh makes and observation about Isarel's action in response to God's call to worship him. By calling Israel idle and lazy he is seeing God's expression his redemptive work of Sabbath in the lives of his people. For God is always about providing rest from our burdens. He does not lead us away from work, but when God sees us facing overwhelming burdens in this life he seeks to bring his people to a point of rest in him. Some people will call us lazy. Others will say we are unproductive. I say that to spend time with God is the most productive and active work we can do. It is also the most fruitful.
