Pharaoh accused the Hebrews of using worship as an excuse to get out of work (Exodus 5). Twice in the chapter he calls them lazy. That made me think about today how people will use a variety of excuses to get out of worship. I guess that would make Pharaoh happy. But then I got to thinking: should worship be easy...something a lazy person can do? I don't think so. But it shouldn't be work either. It should be refreshing like water to the panting deer (Ps. 42:1). But those who treat it lazily end up weak, sick, and eventually dead (I Cor. 11:30). God's word is amazing as it can fill our minds with challenging thoughts and questions.
