Discussion Questions
- Are you able to regularly rest? What are your daily, weekly, yearly habits of rest? How are you sleeping?
- How would you define the balance between a good work ethic and overworking? Where's the line?
- Where are you currently "building"? Do you have a keen sense that God is in it? What difference does that make?
- Discuss the line, "He gives to his Beloved sleep." How does that work? There is an alternative translation: "He works while His Beloved sleep." How do the two different translations convey similar meaning?
