Learning To Live

Life is in part about learning, especially about God. We are His people. We are are to follow in His ways. But how do we know these ways? One path is through study of scripture. This studying of scripture includes the Sabbath as a day of learning, praise, worship and fellowship. We are not meant to be alone.

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

And how do we do this? Scriptures give us some direction here as well.

Ephesians 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Let us keep the Sabbath, learning to live.

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You, our King. Teach us Your ways and how to follow them. Send us Your kingdom here on earth. Forgive us when we stray from Your ways. Send us today Your healing, deliverance, and abundant provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
