Yom Shabbat, Fourth Month 22, 6006 – July 10, 2021

Resting But Learning

A question arises for me from time to time about the Sabbath, and what is “permitted” activity for the day. Perhaps just starting with that as the conversation is a good indicator that something is not right. That “something not right” in this case for me is my thinking, I suggest. I am better trying to understand what I am feeling about this. It is like, if I am looking for permission, then it is more of a have to rather than a get to. It seems to me that my relationship with YAH would be better served as a get to type of relationship. And it takes a mindset change to get there. For this reason, one thing I see the Sabbath as good for me is a time of learning and studying. If I am working in my. mind on making it better, to me, that is a big part of the Sabbath. Acknowledging YAH and becoming a better person. But, let me just say, I could be incorrect. Like You, I am just trying to find my way.

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

I like to read this scripture when I think on this particular idea about the Sabbath because it is simple, and pure, and the first of its kind. Cool.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me. Deliver me from the evil here. Keep me from temptations YAH! I need You! Restore unto me sevenfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from me, O King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
