HIS SABBATH
Today's reading: Genesis 28-31
"Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the Lord, who makes you holy." Genesis 31:13 NLT
Let's do a Monday morning recap...
How did you do celebrating, better yet, honoring the Sabbath?
Did it have a peaceful, calming and energizing effect on you?
Did you feel an infilling of the Holy Spirit that will power you through this next week?
Did you rest in God's presence?
Or did it all fly by in a whirlwind?
Meetings, tasks, lists to check off?
Did you shuffle one conversation to the next in order to meet and greet everyone?
Today is the day you can begin planning to celebrate His Sabbath in the right way next week.
Being making plans, NO, begin cancelling plans that interrupt your Sabbath rest.
Reduce the number of things you do on this Holy Day of the week.
Make things simpler on you.
Enrich your Sabbath experience by laying a few things on the chopping block that need not be done.
Choose to spend time in His presence. Soaking up His Word. Listening for His voice.
It will make for a better week.
God promises.
