"A Sabbath Confession"

So I was talking to some friends yesterday at church and I shared a deep dark secret. I was not following one of the ten commandments. What! Did I kill someone, was I cussing, was I cheating on my wife? No, something far worse then that. I was not taking my day off.

Reading down the list of the greatest top ten ever written, (The Ten Commandments) after selecting the only true God and not to replace him with any image or misuse his name. We find the next most important thing we call can do. The fourth commandment tells us that "Thou shalt take a day off".

Come on, are you kidding, we have some many good things to do ... especially for a Pastor, there is people to pray for, a sermon to prepare, the church building to maintain, phone calls to make ...

So did God make a mistake when he included this commandment? I don't think so ... God does not make mistakes. If this is true the must be some kind of principle (other then getting good rest, physically, mentally, spiritually).

Well, I think I found it ... it's a matter of trust ... Do I trust God to provide in six days what I will need in Seven? I'm I willing to trust God that he will take care of the one cell (The Chapel) of the body he calls the church while I'm taking a sabbath rest. I'm I really that Good? I don't think so, I think I can trust God to provide in six what I need in seven. I think he can take care of the The Chapel.

So I declared yesterday, that I'm returning to the full sabbath rest.

Have a Great Day
