Do you feel rested, refreshed and healthy today?

The Shift from Rushing to Slowing… Rest for Your Soul…take a day

Isaiah 30:15 “This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.”

Sabbath was More Than… Taking a napTaking a nap A day off workA day off work Showing up at the TempleShowing up at the Temple 24 hours with no shopping,24 hours with no shopping, running, swimming or smiling running, swimming or smiling An occasion for legalismAn occasion for legalism

Sabbath Legalism During Christ’s Ministry Exodus 20:10- “but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work…” Breaking the Sabbath is very serious business! There were big consequences for Sabbath breakers! What is considered work? The religious leaders identified 39 basic categories of “work.” Then, they gave specific instruction for what could and could not be done in each of these 39 categories. For example: reaping, threshing, winnowing, preparing a meal and lifting a burden were all considered work. You can’t lift a burden on the Sabbath. How much is a burden? A burden is anything that weighs more than two dried figs! This is legalism out of control!

The Secret of God’s Sabbath It is a declaration of complete trust that God is capable of running the universe without their help! It is a living testimony of their confidence that God can provide (in just six days of labor). It is an awareness that slowing down to meet with God and his people is a life priority.

Seismic Shift Suggestions Commit to plan one day a week for the coming month for God and his people. Take an occasional nap! Psalm 127:1-2

The Shift from Stuffed to Satisfied… Rest Your Body…God’s Temple

The Shift from Anxiety to Peace… Rest for Your Mind…Prayer

Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
