Remember your created limits. So much of workaholism is a defiance of the physical limitations that God our creator has imposed upon us.

About This Quote

After our creation, God placed boundaries that are meant to protect us. We are not meant to do the impossible or put ourselves in situations that are too dangerous or too difficult. We are to be responsible and make good use of our time, but also take care of ourselves. When we misuse time, it is a form of rebellion against God. The best way to overcome this problem is to remember our created limits.
