Sabbath Rest

It is done. I have provided. Sit and relax. I am giving you a Sabbath rest. 

Glory in me and in the peace and rest I so freely offer to you. Watch in awe as I fill your coffers to overflowing. You don’t have to labor; labor in vain. I have already done it for you. 

I see your weariness. That is not from me. A life lived in the pursuit of me does not yield weariness nor hopelessness. Nay, quite the opposite. A life yielded to me produces loving kindness, blessings, favor, peace, and abundance. Yes, even joy, assurance and confidence. 

Have you made me your sole priority? Have you cast aside all worry and all that ensnares you to follow me? Are you ready to go when I say? I need your full attention and obedience. 

There is no one but me. No one can satisfy you like I can. No one; so indeed, it is done. Do not look to anyone, but me. I have your provision. It is ready and being distributed. I have said it and it is so. 

I do this for your sake. I have called you and you are mine. I take care of my own. I set you aside in my keeping. You are loved. You are protected. You are provided for. By my hand alone. 

Do not think you have created any of this by your hand. It is I who give breath to your body. It is I who controls the yields of the land. The cattle and sheep are mine alone. Do not fool yourself. It all belongs to me. 

Rest I say. Stay in my presence and rejoice in me. You are mine and mine alone. 

“And God spoke all these words, saying: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. “You shall have no other gods before Me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
