There’s a Difference Between Resting and Loitering

My last post talked about taking the time to rest but there’s a difference between resting and loitering.

“We can’t afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity, and indulgence,…Get out of bed and get dressed! Don’t loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about.” The Message

We are all working for the kingdom of God.

Romans 14:17, “For the kingdom of God does not mean eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Modern English Version

“God’s kingdom isn’t a matter of what you put in your stomach, for goodness’ sake. It’s what God does with your life as he sets it right, puts it together, and completes it with joy. Your task is to single-mindedly serve Christ.” The Message

My life is constantly being set right, put together, and made complete. I don’t have time to judge another’s life.
