And I gave them my Sabbath days of rest as a sign between them and me. It was to remind them that I am the LORD, who had set them apart to be holy. Ezekiel 20:12
Meditate.
Consider God’s desire for a Sabbath day.
Our
bodies need rest. Studies have shown that quality rest and sleep reduces
stress, promotes better memory and brain function, lowers weight gain risk;
lowers risk of heart disease; lowers inflammation while strengthening the
immune system, and promotes good mental health. Rest on the Sabbath can result
in better overall health. Seek the tranquility of the Lord.

| Rest at the top of the mountain... Hills at the Badlands, South Dakota. Where does my help come from? From the Lord who never sleeps. Does He rest on the Sabbath? |
I look up to the mountains—
does my help come from there?
My help comes from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth!
He will not let you stumble;
the one who watches over you will
not slumber.
Indeed, he who watches over Israel
never slumbers or sleeps.
The LORD himself watches over
you! Psalm
121:1-5
Will you
choose to honor God by observing His Sabbath?
Prayer
– Lord, when You created all of the heavens and earth in six days I can imagine
that You were tired…really tired. But You never sleep—so Your rest is just
that—ceasing from work. Spiritual rest. Show me when and where I need to
observe Your Sabbath.
Verse
of Salvation ~ Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to
obey you. Psalm
51:12
