Reflections



Sometimes it’s so calming to experience the warm sun and a cool breeze gust across my face. It feels so warm, embracing my soul. The fresh smell of ocean water and sea gulls souring in the wind are relaxing and invigorating moments I relish.

God wants us to take time and enjoy the natural beauty He has provided to nurture our health. I believe this is why He created Sabbath. A 24 hour gift from above each and every week! Not just one hour but 24! A gift of time for reflection, healing and seeking His face. He understands we need this day, the Sabbath, in order to receive His strength, to revitalize our souls each week.

A good example would be like driving a car and never stopping to refuel, change the oil, or just let the engine rest. God knows what we need, he created us. Resting in Him is like following the owner’s manual. Ignore it and the car falls apart. God’s word is our Manuel, He is our Creator and if He says we need rest, we need to listen!

When I think of the Sabbath, it gives me peace. I know my body will have 24 hours to stop the usual everyday work and spend downtime with God. When I am in His presence, He is giving me new life.

So take the gift of 24! Experience new life you can enjoy for each and every week by resting in His Presence.
