Day after Christmas. Boxing day. What is that? Most people are in the shops getting great deals or returning presents they don't need or want. It can be busier than Christmas day. How about taking a day of rest. Give me a show of hands, how many need some rest? We all do! The Sabbath was instituted by God for this. I have mentioned before that this is something I need to work on. Moses was given clear instructions on this along with all the different sacrifices.
Numbers 28:25, And on the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work.
When is your time to rest? We lead busier lives today due to the advent of technology. We are always connected, and connected to more people than we have time for. What would life be without the mobile phone, no internet and no emails? Our lives have become complex and we take on more than we can chew. Time to have the "no" answer, when needed.
We need to free the time to connect with people more deeply, and spend serious time with God. Enough of just a "how are you" in the corridors on your way out or in, or reactions on a Facebook post. We need the Sabbath to truly rest in God and be human.
Father, help me to have wisdom in using my time well.
