I have been pondering a lot lately about the Sabbath. I realize we are no longer under the old law. However, I have often wondered what my work week would be like if I took the Sabbath seriously. If I took Sunday as a true day of rest. Rest from shopping, cleaning the house, and other forms of work or play that take my focus off our Lord. I have made the decision to observe the Sabbath every week for a month and journal the results I find. It would be very interesting to see if my job performance and relationships improved. How could they not? I would be rested and have had personal, intimate time with my Heavenly Father.I am ashamed to say the most difficult thing to give up will be the television. I don't realize how much time is spent in front of that noise box. I justify it by working on crafts while I listen. I wonder, is it God's will that I take a Sabbath rest or my selfish desire to get out of house work? Seriously, I have found myself feeling tired and irrational lately and realized how little rest I have been allowing myself. With no rest; how does one find time to be in the Word? How do you spend time in God's presence if you are too busy to settle down for a day? These were questions that intruded into my thoughts as I struggled to do God's will regarding my walk with Him.
