1Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do: 2For six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you are to have a holy Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Anyone who does work on that day must be put to death. 3Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
“Do not light a fire”
“The Jews understand this precept as forbidding the kindling of fire only for the purpose of doing work or dressing victuals; but to give them light and heat, they judge it lawful to light a fire on the Sabbath day.” (Clarke)
What is the Sabbath to you and do you observe it?
In our busy world there just doesn’t seem to be enough time or days but one thing I know is, if I don’t rest one day a week from work I feel worn out and tired 😓.
Last Sunday we live-streamed our church, installed fence posts for our backyard and in the evening we used Zoom for our Life Group. I normally don’t like working on Sunday, (our Sabbath) but rain was coming and the boss (spouse) said we needed to get er done!
Today I’m worn out, it rained all night and will rain all day, but now we have a fenced yard for our new puppy with a doggie door.
Do not light a fire 🔥 or install fence posts on the Sabbath day! I’m guilty!
Blessings, David
