Some people are so driven by the need to work that they forget God’s requirement to rest and be restored. Regular recreation is designed by God to help us recover from all the pressures of life and be equipped for the next season. Some people, however, get their lives out of balance in the other direction - and recreation becomes the idol which takes over their life. There is a Godly and healthy balance which we need to maintain, to be able to enjoy life to the full and make our lives really count for the Kingdom.
