September 12, 2023: What Does It Mean To Remember The Sabbath?

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates." (Exodus 20:8–10, ESV)

Remembering the Sabbath means to 'unplug' from work and honor God's call to enter His rest. To do these two things is to say, "God, I trust you with my life. While others are working, I believe you are working for me." It takes faith to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy! In many ways, it is like tithing. It takes faith to give up ten percent of your income and trust God for the increase. It takes faith to 'unplug from work' and trust God for the increase.
    
It takes faith to give up the dependency on self and trust Jesus Christ with all your heart and life. You might say it is 'scary wonderful!' The faith walk is not for the faint of heart. It takes courage and trust to step out and believe God for the very thing He has spoken. But if you will, you will discover you can trust Him and that He is faithful to His word. The Sabbath is full of success, prosperity, and longevity. Enter in and get some!
