Exodus 20:8-11 NIV
- Wired for rhythm
- Reminder of worth/value
- Meant for God
The Sabbath is not just a ‘day off’. We can take a day off and not experience the Sabbath. We are commanded to stop in order to intentionally worship and enjoy God in an undistracted way. - Eugene Peterson, Working the Angles
Mark 2:27-28 NIV
I must restructure my activities so that I can set aside the day with the great Lover of my soul. If I have so many commitments that I cannot change the routine, I can be sure that at least one of them is not the will of God for my life. For God will not lead us into so many commitments that we can no longer enter into the Holy day. - Marva Dawn, Keeping the Sabbath Wholly
