Peaceful Searching

As believers we can spend a considerable portion of our life in search of something. If it is a search for a closer relationship with our Father, that is a good thing. It is this search that helps us to better stay on the path He has set before us. if we keep looking into the perfect law of liberty and comparing it to our own lives, we can see where we are in relation to where God wants us to be. When we keep the Sabbath and spend time with God, we can use this time to do this very thing.

Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

God set this day apart from other days. This is a day dedicated to God and our relationship with Him. When we rest, we are to rest in Him on this day. It is this process once a week that helps us stay the course with our God.

Prayer
Father, I praise and exalt You as the Most High God. It is Your kingdom we long for each day. On the Sabbath, we can remember that the day will come when You will rule physically on the earth. Send Your kingdom Father. Give us our needs today, Lord. Send Your abundant provision. We need Your forgiveness and mercy for our failures. Please send Your healing and deliverance. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
