“In Egypt they worked every day. As a slave, your worth and value came from how many bricks you produced. The bottom line: How productive and efficient you are. And from the moment these people are liberated, what this God keeps insisting is: Take one day to rest, to play, to be recreated. Take one day a week to get some rhythm. Take one day a week to remind yourself that you are not a human doing you are a human being. Take one day a week to remind yourself that you are not a machine, that you are not a cog in a wheel. Take one day a week to remind yourself that your worth and value do not come from how many bricks you can produce. There’s a new way to be human where you have a rhythm of life. Where you aren’t just going all the time. I say it again: your worth and value don’t just come from how many bricks you produced.” — Rob Bell
