SABBATH

When My disciples went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, they began to pluck the heads of the grain. The Pharisees upbraided them and asked Me why they were breaking the law of the Sabbath. I told them that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

My Father designed the Sabbath to be a day of rest. It was created to be a day of refreshing, renewal, and reflection. Few people, however, observe this day, and this is why so many of them are frustrated and worn out. Isaiah wrote that if you observe the Sabbath by doing My Father's pleasure and going His way instead of your own, My Father will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth.

You do not have to wait until the Sabbath to rest and cease from your own works. When you put your full trust in Me and allow Me to work through you both to will and to do of My Father's good pleasure, every day will be a delight to you.
