Today’s Verse:
"For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy." – Exodus 20:11
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Life is tough. Life is crazy! Everyday seems to be getting harder to go through and we seem to run into more and more troubles. Our dream list gets shorter and shorter as more and more of them become "impossible to fulfill" and our to-do list gets longer and longer as people around us become more and more demanding.
Father! And this is why we need Sabbath! You made the world into 6 days and You rested on the 7th day. If Father, You needed to rest, so do we?! As He has commanded us to rest for our own good, then we should really make use of the Sabbath to rest in Him and to regain our energy.
Father, other than rest, what should we do on the Sabbath Day? It might be valuable to spend time in fellowship with other believers. It might be valuable to spend time learning and growing in your relationship with You. It might be valuable to spend time to serve at the church!
Father, Thank you for teaching us, as we are all ordinary people without infinite wisdom like You. Sometimes, we are just too "dumb" to spend all our time working and working and working for "the everlasting" and forget about the important people surrounding use, including family, friends and love ones. In Your divine design, Father, You have created us to rest from the daily activities of lives once every week, so Father, help us to find complete REST in You and You alone and be restored physically, spiritually, relationally at the end of every Sabbath day.
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
