REST:-
THE SABBATH IS A TIME SO THAT YOU CAN "REST" YOUR BODY & MIND FROM THE STRESSES & PRESSURES OF THIS WORLD! SWITCH OFF YOUR WORK PHONES, CLOSE DOWN YOUR LAPTOP, TURN-OFF YOUR MIND FROM THAT BUSINESS DEAL, STOP THE COOKING & WASHING, GIVE THE SHOPPING MALLS A MISS, IT IS NOW TIME TO REST. OUR CREATOR KNEW HOW & WHAT OUR WORLD WOULD BECOME LIKE, WITH THE HETIC LIFESTYLES WHICH WILL ALL NOW SEEM TO LEAD...HE KNOWS OUR BODIES BETTER THAN OURSELVES, AFTER ALL HE CREATED US!...REMEMBER, THE SABBATH ALLOWS US TO 'REST' IN THE SAVIOURS LOVE & REMINDS US THAT SOON, VERY SOON, WE WILL BE ABLE TO 'REST' FROM THIS SIN-FILLED WORLD FOR ETERNITY.....ISAIAH 66:22-23. EXODUS 20:8-11 & NEHEMIAH 13:15-22 PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE SHOULD NEVER PURSUE OUR OWN AMBITIONS ON THE SABBATH DAY!
ENJOY:-
THE SABBATH IS MEANT TO BE A "LIBERATION" AND NOT A BURDEN! LEARN TO ENJOY YOURSELF ON THE SABBATH...MAKE IT A SPECIAL DAY FOR YOURSELF & YOUR LOVED ONES. ENJOY THE FELLOWSHIP OF OTHER CHRISTIANS, ENJOY HELPING OTHERS ON THE SABBATH (MATTHEW 12:10-13, MARK 3:4 & LUKE 13:10-17), GO FOR A PICNIC, ENJOY A NICE WALK, BE OUT IN GODS CREATION...AFTER ALL THE WORLD WAS CREATED FOR US TO ENJOY...LET US START 'CELEBRATING' GODS SABBATH DAY GIFT WHICH HE HAS CREATED FOR US...LET US START TO ENJOY BEING WITH OUR CREATOR ON HIS DAY, A DAY IN WHICH HE HAS BLESSED & SANCTIFIED. REMEMBER, ALL OUR ACTVITIES ON THE SABBATH SHOULD BE TO THE GLORY OF GOD....REMEMBER THAT IT IS A "HOLYDAY!" AND NOT A "HOLIDAY!" ENJOY THIS HOLY TIME WITH HIM...ISAIAH 58:13-14
LEARN:-
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THE SABBATH IS TO SPEND TIME WITH OUR CREATOR... WORSHIP GOD IN HOLINESS & REVERANCE.ALLOW HIS WORDS TO SANCTIFY YOU. (EXODUS 31:13-17 & JOHN 17:17). READ THE BIBLE, PRAY & STUDY THE WORD OF GOD...THE CREATOR WANTS US TO GET TO KNOW HIM, AS MUCH AS HE KNOWS US...HE SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS WORDS WRITTEN IN THE HOLY BIBLE...THE SABBATH ALLOWS US TO WALK WITH GOD, IN THE 'COOL OF THE DAY'...TAKE TIME TO TALK TO HIM THROUGH PRAYER, LEARN MORE ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR US, STUDY HIS INTENTIONS FOR US...THE SABBATH ALSO TEACHES US THAT WE SHOULD LEARN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GOD IS THE OWNER OF THIS WORLD, AND WE ARE JUST THE TENANTS (LEVITICUS 25:23) . BY ADMIRING THE BIRDS, FLOWERS, ANIMALS ETC, OF AN EXPRESSION OF DIVINE REVELATION, THE SABBATH TEACHES US TO BE CURATORS, RATHER THAN PREDATORS OF GODS CREATION... FINALLY REMEMBER; "THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN" MARK 2:27
