This is why we live in a culture that can’t accept sabbath; we do not believe that work is from God and for our neighbor. Instead we believe that work is from us and for us. It’s something we pursue to become who we want to become. Our careers define us. This is the American dream. We can work our way to significance. This is what we’re doing when we prove our busyness to ourselves and each other; we’re trying to show that we matter, that the world wants us, that the world depends on us.
