Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings
God did us a favor when He created the border of a Sabbath day. He did that for us…not for Himself (Mark 2:27).
He knew that our lives would move at breakneck speed, our calendars would be crammed, and we would overcommit. He knew we would need to rest and refocus.
Establishing a Sabbath in our lives causes us to recognize God’s governance of our time and helps us relinquish control to Him.
The Sabbath is a time for us to cease from regular daily activities. Set aside and resist the obligations and activity that consume most of your days. It offers us a sacred time to rest. We can sleep a solid eight hours, sit quietly, or doze in a hammock.
On this special day, do the thing that brings you joy, that recharges and rejuvenates you. Remember to spend time in God’s presence. Turn your heart to Him. Open your Bible, sing to Him or talk to Him in prayer.
As you take this step of obedience, expect to hear from Him. Anticipate His refreshing and renewal for the upcoming week. Honor the Sabbath. It is His gift to you.
Blessing:
Heavenly Father, You knew that I would need a break. Thank You for the gift of a Sabbath. Thank You for helping me stop to rest, contemplate Your goodness, and take time to do something just because it makes me happy. I trust You to help me accomplish everything in the other six days. In the name of Jesus…amen.
