Yom Shabbat, Sivan 12, 6004 – May 18, 2019

Resting And Rest

Often when I think of rest, I think of doing nothing. Vegetating is another word for that action. Rest can be seen as a noun, a thing, in that regard. Resting is more of an action. It involves doing something to rest. On the Sabbath, we take part in resting to gain rest. We acknowledge God to gain our place with Him. This is just a simple example of an idea behind the Sabbath.

Genesis 2:2 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.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way of that which is good, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
