I love Sabbaths!!!
What's not to love??!!!
To have a day every week, free of labour, without guilt!!
Such a sweet release!!
A day to simply love nature and relationships and be conscious of the one who provides every good thing!!
And I was reminded of a couple of things this morning -
One is that the rest I find in this day is a symbol of the rest I find in him!!
That he takes away the need to strive to 'be', and I simply flourish in his work in me!
And the other is this.
All the other weekdays we work to provide for ourselves and our families!
But this day, he tells us not to work!
To sit back, put our feet up, and let him provide for the day!!
We get to enjoy all that he has done!!!
And just be a guest in the house of our God for the day.
Loving who he is and all the wonderful things he does for us!!
To bow in acknowledgement that he is the great provider!!
Not us.
Working is good for us.
We create and achieve and grow more accomplished as we do!
He made us that way!
It gives us drive and purpose and responsibility!
But we can tend to let it take over our lives to the point where we forget its true role in us.
This day, we are reminded.
He is the ultimate provider.
And we can rest in it.
