Rest And Reflection

There is something about resting on the sabbath and reading scriptures that is just different. There is a certain peace that does not exist on other days for me. Perhaps it is the general sense of the importance of the sabbath to God. This morning I was reflecting on the scripture Psalms 119:110. Here the psalmist talks about how those that are against him have laid a snare for him, but he has not forgotten the law (continued serving God). He says that these directions from God are actually his heritage, like a family heirloom. They make the psalmists heart sing. I know that feeling. Then the psalmist says he will listen to God, and will make his stand with God forever.

It is a Father’s greatest hope to pass along a heritage to his children. I can understand why God wants to do this for us. I only hope that I, too, can pass along God’s heritage to my children.

Prayer
Father, Thank You for the inheritance of the wisdom of the laws and statutes You have placed in our heart as the new covenant. Thank You for Your son Jesus and the sacrifice He made. Please help us to pass the heritage You have given to us to our children. In Jesus name. Amen.
