Today I honored the 4th commandment. I do not always get it right, heck I get it wrong more times than I get it right. Out of all the commandments this is one of the ones I struggle with them most. I have not killed anyone, I love my parents, I strive to love God with all my heart, and I do not have any golden calf around the house. The 4th commandments says that we are to honor a sabbath. Every six days we are to rest. Why?
Today I rested. I have almost been bum like. Today I have not even walked out of my house. Guess what? The world is still spinning. My busyness is not what is keep the world on it's axis. When I stop the earth and everything else around me does not. Imagine that. I am not in control. I am not the one calling the shots. We need a sabbath to remember that the world does not revolve around us.
Today I took a sabbath. I watched TV, I read, and I slept. Today God reminded me that he created me to be a human being, not a human doing. Today I put life in park and took a step back. Everything that I am working on or going through will still be around tomorrow. When is the last time you took a sabbath? When is the last time that you rested?
