YOUR day
Posted June 24th, 2009 by misterlib“If you watch your step on the Sabbath and don’t use my holy day for personal advantage, if you treat the Sabbath as a day of joy, God’s holy day as a celebration, if you honor it by refusing ‘business as usual,’ making money, running here and there— then you’ll be free to enjoy God!
YOUR holy day. YOURS. not mine. i was tempted to write a title like my sabbath or my something, but it was wrong. YOU have an agenda with me. and on this day. once a week. it is to rest. to do nothing to further/better/advance my self, or my family, or my business, or my income, or my errands, or my anything… except for my enjoyment of YOU. advance in my celebration of YOU. rest in the joy of YOU. the joy of my salvation which was given to me on no merit of my own effort, no matter how many days a week i worked to earn it. YOU dancing over me. me enjoying YOU.
do i ever slow down enough for this? am i running seven days a week with the tasks and the ladders and the goals and the intersections and the decisions based entirely on my own understanding?
do i trust YOU enough to take a day off from me once a week?

I often fill the Sabbath with things. So many things. Usually among them, church functions. Sometimes I stop and think about how much these are really for G-d. More times than not I feel more alive when I set aside time and just sit and talk with G-d…
