It’s not that the work disappears or that I’m earning a reward for obeying God’s Law. Starting the week with a day of rest is a tangible, visible practice of offering to God the first fruits of my time and trusting Him for my needs—including trust for Monday morning cheerfulness and energy. When the Lord’s Day is prioritized and taken in faith, those Martha jobs on Monday are not fretful and fussy but joyful service, informed by Mary’s focus.
