We have been reading the Bible for one full week today! How exciting is that??<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do hope you are enjoying the experience and finding ways to make this a lasting part of your life&#8230; or at least the next 73 days. (You can decide what happens next then.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow I will share reflection questions and materials for the next week. So, for now, let&#8217;s talk about today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Today&#8217;s Reading: Exodus 29-40<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sabbath is a sign. You should honor it&#8230; even in busy times<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scripture: Exodus 34:21<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(There were several mentions of honoring Sabbath in today&#8217;s reading. I went round and round as to which verse to record. The last part really got me, though, so I went with this one.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Observation: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Israelites were instructed to observe the Sabbath as a sign and a reminder that God is sovereign. He knew that we would have busy times and He mandated we should still observe the Sabbath, even during those busy times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Application:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve done a pretty good job of observing this lately. But I could do better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I need to structure my days and work such that I work on work days and then observe the Sabbath each week. I will get done what I really need to if I follow this. And I will be honoring and remembering God, my Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prayer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Father, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You knew our hearts, our needs, and how our minds would work long ago. You want us to pause and reflect&#8211; to show our love in discipline and in refreshing. Please guide me in honoring you with a true Sabbath day every week, always. Thank you for designing me as you did and for instructing me to follow you. You have my best at heart. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Jesus name, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ONE WEEK, y&#8217;all! We have been reading the Bible for one full week today!
