Sabbath is a lesson that we cannot get things in order before coming to God. Our work is not done and we rest in Him and are received by Him. When life is still messy, we rest. When things are unfinished, we rest. When we haven’t got our life together, we rest. It’s more than a day off, it’s a day that we we discover rest and refreshment is found in the Lord.

The 10 Commandments are 10 simple and concrete statements that could transform the planet. There is nothing ambiguous about them.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURES Exodus 20.17: “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”

No Theft

The eighth commandment God gave his people was “No Theft.” This simple statement calls God’s people individually, and communally to live with generosity and liberality in order to ensure that all people both near and far, both present and future, have the opportunity to partake in a just share of the goods of creation.
