work and rest to the glory of God

"Sometimes we find great delight in work - that's work as God intended. But often we find work frustrating - that's what work has become as a result of human rebellion against God...

...If activity leads to identity, then I can be saved only if and when I do good works. But it's not my works that make me who I am, but God's work. We are God's handiwork...

...In the Bible's vision of life, work is just one way in which you can serve God. Rest is another way. We both work and rest to the glory of God..."
