The Modern Sabbath

so I do a very poor job at resting... so here are a few thoughts about resting, more for me then you, but I want to share...

"resting can be an act of worship"

"I figure God was serious when He mapped out a day of rest for us. If God Himself needed a day to rest after creating this universe, we would be stupid to think the same isn't essential for us."

"In modern Christianity, we have come to understand that worshipping God is not just done through singing and instruments, but through our lifestyles. But we're so rushed in packing our lifestyles with activities that perhaps we forget that God can glory not only in our work, but even in our rest. We want so much to honor God that we pack the completion of projects even into our days of rest, when really, God would sometimes prefer that we do absolutely nothing."
