Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray That He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Exodus 20:11, “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.”
The devotion is titled God’s “Save the Date” by Pastor Ken. We are reminded that God established the Sabbath to have one special day a week with us. God wants us to observe three things from this passage. God created the earth for us to enjoy and appreciate His work. God rested on the Sabbath. He wants us to take a physical and spiritual break that God wants us to share with Him. God established the Sabbath as a day of fellowship with Him.
Reflection: God wants to spend a special day with us. He wants us to rest and recharge. What one way we can rest physically and spiritually?
Here was my response: The way I can physically rest is to relax and recover from the weeklong drudgery and tensions that comes from working. One way I can rest spiritually by devoting my time to commune with God and to receive His blessings.
My Prayer for us: Dear God, We need Your rest and relaxation. We recognize that You have made the Sabbath as a special blessing for us. We don’t want to miss out on any of Your blessings. Please help us keep the Sabbath so that we can experience these blessings from You. I Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
