Bible Text: Exodus 20:8-11 | Speaker: Pastor James Hinton | Series: Exodus

Few things are more precious to me than my time. I need time to work, worship, rest, and play. I need time to spend with the Lord. I need time to prepare sermons and give people spiritual counsel. I also need time to love my family. It all takes a great deal of time, and there never seems to be quite enough.

Many people have the same frustration. We often feel rushed. We never seem to have time for work and leisure, for family and ministry. So we complain, “If only I had one extra day this week; then I could get all my work done.” Or we say, “You know, I could really use some time off.” Or, “If only I had more time to study the Bible and serve the Lord.” In these and many other ways we grumble about being overtired and overworked. It is all part of the frustration of living as finite creatures in a fallen world.
