Just a short one today; must get back to studying for exams….
The Sabbath was made for the good of man, man was not made for the Sabbath. –Mark 2:27
God created the Sabbath so that we would be forced to slow down and rest. There are constant references in the Old Testament about keeping the Sabbath day holy and how to accomplish that holiness. In fact, keeping the Sabbath holy was so important that the people were risking death if they worked. It’s so important for us to take a regular time to rest and let our minds and hands take a break from the work that we do six days a week. If we don’t, we run the risk of working ourselves to death in our zeal to accomplish.
