What is sabbath to you?

How do you rest?

When is the last day you dedicated a whole day to rest?

We had an adventure day if I’m being honest exploring Gods creation disconnecting without service breathing in fresh air and allowing my eyes to take in all the beauty around me allows me to forget all my problems and worries. My stress is reduced and I have more freedom to be joyous! And while on the mountain we got to share that joy of Jesus and the good news with 3 other people!!:) we got to mediate on 2 Corinthians 1 and share our Bible verses in the Bible. 

Today our actual sabbath we went and empowered people who want to start a house church. If I’m being honest I didn’t want to go at first because it didn’t sound very restful. But the more I talked about God the more I found rest. The more burdens were stripped off of my and the more love and peace I felt.

When is the last time you sat down and abided in Him to find rest?

Matthew 11:28-30

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Below is googles definition of rest. What’s yours?

• A day of rest: The Sabbath is a divinely appointed day to stop all physical labor and rest, just as God rested after creating the world.
• A holy day: God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, meaning it was set apart for a special purpose.
• A day of worship: The Sabbath is intended for worship and devotion to God, both as individuals and as a community.
• Commemorating creation: The Sabbath serves as a perpetual reminder of God's creation of the world.
• A rhythmic principle: The Sabbath is part of a larger principle of a rhythm of work and rest that God built into the world.
• A gift, not a burden: Jesus taught that the Sabbath was made for humanity, and its purpose is to bring rest, not to be a burdensome set of rules. 

Still fundraising if you feel led to give.
