By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.Exodus 20:8-11 NIV"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.Why most of us don't practice the Sabbath:PrideDistractionsFearRemember these two things:Definitions matterPay attention to what you're paying attention toWe are all practicing various things.What are you currently practicing?What do you desire to practice going forward?Sabbath is about practicing delight!Dan Allender"The only parameter that is to guide our Sabbath is delight.
