Rest And Return

Today begins a long journey for my family and me. We journeyed to Florida from the Midwest and we begin the drive back today. It has been a restful and thoughtful time. We will be traveling the first of two days on the Sabbath. My wife reads the scriptures for this week aloud and we discuss them as we are driving. This morning I have been thinking about the days of the week. What would happen if we called the days of the week by the the numbers as they did in scripture? The answer is not clear to me. But it does make me wonder.

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.

Perhaps it is worth trying.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us be Your light in this Earth. Send us now this day Your overwhelming abundant provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us up inside and outside, and deliver us from the evil. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
