SABBATH

Today's reading: Deuteronomy 4-6

"Observe the Sabbath...Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out with amazing power and mighty deeds. That is why the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day." Deuteronomy 5:12-15 NLT

Ever wondered WHY God asked us to participate in a day of rest? A day set aside specifically each and every week to think about all He has done and who He is?

It's to remember.

It's to remember that we, like the Israelites, were once held slave to something.

Slaves have no say. Slaves have no consideration given to them. Slaves have no day off.

God asks us to observe a Sabbath so that we pause to remember who we were, what we lacked, why we are able to experience the sweet taste of freedom today.

Are you taking advantage of this day set apart to remember?
