Afraid of the Sabbath - Or afraid of Trust?

Are we afraid to trust God by honoring His Sabbath?

Exodus 20:8-11 - “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping 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, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."

I've realized that in choosing to not honor/keep/have a Sabbath, I'm not only breaking a commandment (and treating it as less "important/less practical" than other commands - I'm ultimately showing my own lack of true trust in God.

How?

Just like tithing when you don't have the money - keeping the a Sabbath day(the Bible doesn't demand that it has to be Saturday, or Sunday) when you DON'T have the "time" for it is even MORE important than ever.

Do you, like me, tithe when you can afford it? Do you, like me, honor a day of rest when you can? Or do you, like we've been commanded, trust God enough to actually give when it hurts...rest when you're afraid He won't honor your trust by making all of the "important stuff" come together in only 6 days instead of 7?

Trust Him. Don't put the "Important stuff" above the Important God.

I've been doing it. I'm going to repent and re-prioritize. And if you're in my boat...I love you, and I'm praying for you as I am myself. Praying that God becomes so Important and Big in our lives that we can't put him second to ANYTHING.

And all of God's people said :)

Amen. Now to actually follow it.
