Starting from rest does not mean that what comes afterwards will necessarily be easy. Enjoy the rest and really recover and be prepared. A trivial example would be what is called in climbing a “sit-start”. Notice the repose as the bouldering problem begins. And on video it may not look that hard but appearances can be deceiving. Bouldering here is only an analogy, because it is a leisure time activity, but when we see someone struggling don’t assume that their former state of rest or present appearance of ease of execution means their isn’t any real struggle going on.

This reminds me of how the Christian week starts with Sunday, a day of rest. We no longer work 6 days and rest on the 7th but begin with rest the first day of the week. We rest in Christ and his finished work. We begin the week reminded that now we are doing works basically done beforehand. Thus, we begin our work week with rest and fellowship with the Lord and God’s people.
JC, I totally agree and will blog later about the idea you have raised.
