Could the reason so many of us suffer physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally, even spiritually, be because we never stop, we never cease, we never rest, we never stop? As the Creator of Life, our Heavenly Father knows a thing or two about how to live the best life possible, and shares that inside information with us in the 10 commandments, "God's Top 10". God's Top 10 #4 is a positive command, do this, not a negative command, don't do this. Our Heavenly Father tells us to "remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy". In other words, don't forget to take your day of ceasing, your day of desisting, your day of resting. Keep the Sabbath day separate. Treat it differently than you do every other day of the week. This is your day to stop. Our Father knows that if we work, if we are active nonstop, we will burnout. We weren't created to operate 24/7, we were created to need these natural rhythms of both work and rest. Plus, it is when we cease striving that we are able to know that He is God. It is in resting that we are able to acknowledge and become aware that He is God. So what are you doing to build in these much-needed Sabbath breaks in your busy schedule? How can you protect this time to rest, to be with your family, to laugh, play, relax, rejuvenate, refresh? How can you create this time and space to spend with your Heavenly Father so you can know him better? With our busy lifestyles, this is something we are going to have to be intentional about. We are going to have to be disciplined. Jesus promises us that if we will come to him, if we will move in his direction towards God's plans and blueprints for our lives, even if we are burdened, worn out, tired, Jesus will give us rest. I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty good! Don't forget the Sabbath!
