Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
Exodus 20:8 BSB

Today’s Verse in Context:
And God spoke all these words: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain. 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 which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant or livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy. Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

Today's devotional mentions Genesis 2:1-3 so I'm including it here:
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.

Today’s Devotional from Youversion is: The Sabbath Practice - Day 1 of 4

Day 1: Stop

The word Sabbath comes from the Hebrew word shabbat, which literally means “to stop” or “cease.” But it can also mean to rest, to delight, and even to worship. The first time that shabbat shows up is in Genesis 2:1-3. God finishes the work of creation, and it says “he rested [shabbat] from all his work.” Notice: God sabbathed. Abraham Joshua Heschel notes that God didn’t sabbath because he was tired, or worn out from all the creating he did. Rather, his act of stopping was an act of creation itself. God stops, and in doing so, he creates a rhythm of rest woven into the very fabric of creation. When we live without Sabbath, we go against the rhythm that God the creator himself built into our body and into the fabric of all creation. This is true on the negative side—when you don’t sabbath, you suffer the consequences: burnout, stress, trashed immune systems, brain fog, frayed relationships, distance from God, etc. But it’s also true on the positive side—when we do sabbath, we reap the rewards: peace, health, and delight, just to name a few. But Sabbath isn’t just an aspirational idea; it’s a practice. Sabbath, like all of the practices, is a means to an end. The end isn’t to say “I practice Sabbath.” It’s not even to be well-rested and happy. It’s to participate in the love and life of God himself, to center our entire life around him, and to live more deeply in him—not just on Sabbath, but all week long. You do not have to live a Sabbath-less life of non-stop exhaustion. You, right where you are, no matter your stage of life, can adopt the practice of Sabbath. And you don’t have to buy it, or order it online, or
