Daily Prayer: Lord, lead me into your rest.
Daily Practice: As you prepare to enter into a practice of Sabbath, slowly read Exodus 20:8-10 again. The Sabbath is a day of rest unto the Lord. It is a day to be kept holy. When we wake up on our Sabbath day we wake up to a world we didn’t create, to a deep communion with God that we didn’t earn, to the life breath of the Spirit that we didn’t “achieve.” A practice of Sabbath is a practice of humbling ourselves and elevating God as Creator and sustainer of all things. Give thanks today for the gifts God has given you, both big and small, that you did not work to earn or achieve.
Some of the thoughts on practicing Sabbath rest come from Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, by Adele Calhoun.
