REST

EXODUS 20:9-10 (CEV)
You have six days when you can do your work, but the seventh day of each week belongs to me, your God. No one is to work on that day...

MARK 2:27 (CEV)
Jesus finished by saying, "People were not made for the good of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was made for the good of people."

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God wants people to trust him enough that they'll rest from working.

PRAYER
God, you have given us good lives with lots to do. Sometimes I feel like I need to do more than there is time for. And I push push push to squeeze in more time for accomplishing things. In doing so I inadvertently push you out of my life and routine. Help me to take sabbath seriously so that I can through our communion allow you to recharge me for what really matters. I'm going to rest from pushing myself. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
