The measure of a man or woman is gauged by being engaged in productive activities, restorative sleep, and a desire to enjoy the goodness of God's creation. A father gave this advice to his son, who was leaving home, “Do not procrastinate or be lazy, but enjoy the fruits of your labor, your family, and friends – all of which God graciously provides.”
God’s word tells us that there is a season for every activity. Mankind is up against the cutting edge of time for satisfying a hunger for things, taking can care of loved ones, and remembering to praise and thank God for the life he enjoys.
The Psalmist asked, “What is man that you, God, are mindful of him?” The mystery and reality of each person is that he or she is God’s crowning achievement, yet still a work in process that needs redemption. This implies our need for fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ and like-minded believers, for here we find acceptance and security.
