Daily Devo | Sabbath as God's Rhythm (Practicing the Way, Genesis 1:31-2:3)

Sabbath is the fourth commandment but long before it was commanded, it was modeled. The God who needs no rest stopped and rested, and delighted in all that had been made. God's rhythm of work and rest was then made into a rhythm for us to follow. All the other cycles on a calendar -- a day, a month, a year -- are written into the stars, but the weekly rhythm is written into us. Sabbath is an invitation for those who are made in God's image to enter into God's own rhythm of work and rest.

For Reflection:

"And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation." - Genesis 2:3

- In his sermon, Pastor Taylor emphasized 3 elements to sabbath - rest, delight, and worship. How has your life been enriched by taking time for delight? How has your life been diminished when time is not set aside for delight?

- How might God be inviting you to create room for regular rest, delight, and worship?
