Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Integrity Moments is a 60 second workday devotional that provides business leaders with helpful insight into what the Bible says about our work and how we can fully integrate our faith into our vocational calling.

A recent study published by Harvard suggests that the average executive in the US works 62.5 hours per week. Quick math shows that to be 12.5 hours per day in a work week.

Why then is there a sense of shame that surrounds the inability to stay on top of it all?

Psalm 127: 2 says, “It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.”

The average executive is anything but lazy. Yet there is shame when the work never seems to get done. The expectations of what must be done, by when and how need to be readjusted to a practical reality. Our work is not typically due more time.
