The what?
This morning in church we got an amazing sermon on the balance between work and rest, which obviously went pretty much around the Sabbath as well as giving time to your family during the week as well.
In today’s day and age, we are being driven to work more and harder than ever before, which in the end makes us compromise on the time we spend with our family and the people the we care for. We leave earlier for work, and work longer hours, probably getting home after dark, and if you have small kids, most probably miss some days with them due to the hours we spend at work, all the time promising we will make it up to them over the weekends.
Come the weekend, we are so tired and drained, that we are unable to spend real quality time with our families, and in the end we wonder why we have no relationship with our kids, and why the passion in your marriage is dwindling…
God created the earth and everything on it in six days, and rested on the seventh day, but we as humans think we can carry on working seven days as week. How is that?
We are created in God’s image, and Him being omnipotent and all-powerful felt the need to take a days rest…
This sermon this morning really touched a nerve with me this morning, as I am just a guilty as everybody else, by not observing the Sabbath as the Lord intended it for us. I do not know yet how I am going to reorganise my life in order to be able to take a Sabbath day, but I do know that I HAVE to do this.
Go and think about this a while, and really go and spend some time with the Lord on this issue, to find out how He wants you to reorganise your life to observe the Sabbath He has given you.
