It’s the end of the year. It’s always an appropriate time to look over your shoulder. Thank God for His faithfulness. Reflect. Slow down. Rest. There are natural stopping points in life:
• There’s a period at the end of every sentence.
• There’s a pillow at the end of every 17 hour day.
• There’s an exhale at the end of every inhale.
• On the highway there’s a rest stop every 20 miles. Unless you really need to go to the bathroom…
• Every growing season is followed by a season of dormancy.
• At the end of every six days God designed a Sabbath rest.
Why would he do that? That’s so inefficient. We could get so much more done. We could have so much more fun if he would just let us. He gave us the earth to rule over. Now why is he meddling with us?
There’s something in the Sabbath rest that is a priority to God. You’re going to spend a 7th of your precious lifetime Sabbathing. Why? What is so important to God that He interrupts what’s so important to us? We want to give you three simple words strait from the Bible that will clarify God’s love for you in the Sabbath and will help you encounter the majesty of God in it.
He Rested. He Blessed It. And He Made It Holy.
