Honoring The Sabbath

Taking the day to honor the Sabbath of our Father, by not working and spending time with Him seems simple enough. But there are those among us that are required to work. There are still others among us that have a type of work that is a bit more self directed. In that scenario, we know that we must work to eat. It can be a challenge to resist the temptation that tells us if we do not take advantage of that day that we will surely not be able to pay our bills and feed our families. As I look at the whole of it, it seems to come down to finances. We are in bondage due to money and debt. Today, as we rest, let us call to our Father to first open our eyes to see the bondage, and then set us free from that bondage.

Exodus 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

We rest.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our true King. We long for Your kingdom. Bless the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us inside, Father. Restore our hearts, restore our soul. Deliver us from the evil that surrounds us. Restore to Your people the power to gain wealth to show that the kingdom is real and to promote it. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
