Keeping The Sabbath Wholly (Exodus 20:9 10; Mark 3:4)

Of all the commandments, the one about keeping the Sabbath (3 or 4) carries the promise of delightfulness with it. The concept of the Sabbath as a "day of delights" is rooted in biblical texts, emphasizing it as a time for rest, joy, and connection with God. This idea is reinforced by passages like Isaiah 58:13-14, “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the LORD honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words, Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD.” This verse promises blessings for those who honor the Sabbath and find delight in it. Look for a way to begin making Sabbath time for yourself so that you may have this delight to look forward to each week.
