COT:
I wanted to talk to you today about rest, particularly sabbath rest. I’m sure you’re familiar with the creation story, so I wanted to share from Genesis 2:2-3

“By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.”

Sabbath was a pretty unfamiliar word or practice to me until last year when our small group did a couple studies that went into more detail.

What is it?
Modeled after creation, God rested on the 7th day.
Time to set aside everything to stop, rest, delight, and worship.
Designed by God as a day to give yourself fully to delight in God’s world, in your life in it, and ultimately in God himself.

Historically, having free time used to be looked at as being for the wealthy. Now if you look at not only the wealthy, but most of culture, our lives are defined by busyness and how much can we do.

When you think about what does it look like, it won’t be the same for everyone and varies by stage of life and preferences. One quote I like is:

If you work with your hands, you Sabbath with your mind. If you work with your mind, you may prefer to Sabbath with your hands.

I sit at a desk for most of my work so getting out in nature or doing something active can be “restful” for me.

For my family, we just started making Sabbath a part of our routine over the last few weeks and try to start around 3pm on Saturday to 3pm on Sunday. We start with a family devotional. Then we have a family activity of some sort, meal together, and bedtime, Sunday is typically church, lunch, then individual rest time. We plan to incorporate gatherings with family or friends into our routine as well as it’s not just for individual families.

So I would challenge all of us to evaluate our lives, our busyness, and try to make Sabbath a weekly routine we lead our families through to realize everything we have and need comes from God.

Heavy Day. Shoulders and Such.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: read Jeremiah 29:11 and shared that birthdays are a good time to reflect on what’s been accomplished and what you want to still do. Also discussed that we tend to overestimate what we can accomplish is a short time and greatly underestimate what can be accomplished longer. So please look at any hardship through the lens of the last several years vs minutes, hours, or days. It will help you recognize that there’s a process happening and right now you might just be at a hard point.

COT:
In a world full of randomness people overestimate their ability to predict events. Just when we think we have it figured out, something unexpected happens. How we handle ourselves in these moments is critical. You can either let it defeat you, or embrace that it’s God’s plan for you. Choosing God’s path will positively shape your character.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Being true may cost you a lot, but yielding will cost you everything.
Dan 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego replied to the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we are not in need of an answer to give you concerning this matter. 17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire; [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel%203&version=NASB#fen-NASB-21825n]and He will rescue us from your hand, O king. 18 But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods nor worship the golden statue that you have set up.”
Daniel’s Friends Protected
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with wrath, and his facial expression was changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. He answered [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel%203&version=NASB#fen-NASB-21827o]by giving orders to heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated. 20 And he ordered certain valiant warriors who were in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in order to throw them into the furnace of blazing fire. 21 Then these men were tied up in their trousers, their [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel%203&version=NASB#fen-NASB-21829p]coats, their caps, and their other clothes, and were thrown into the middle of the furnace of blazing fire. 22 For this reason, because the king’s [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel%203&version=NASB#fen-NASB-21830q]command was harsh and the furnace had been made extremely hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. 23 But these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell into the middle of the furnace of blazing fire still tied up.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up quickly; he said to his counselors, “Was it not three men that we threw bound into the middle of the fire?” They replied to the king, “Absolutely, O king.” 25 He responded, “Look! I see four men untied and walking about in the middle of the fire [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel%203&version=NASB#fen-NASB-21833r]unharmed, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!” 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the Most High God, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the middle of the fire. 27 The satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had no [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel%203&version=NASB#fen-NASB-21835s]effect on [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel%203&version=NASB#fen-NASB-21835t]the bodies of these men, nor was the hair of their heads singed, nor were their [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel%203&version=NASB#fen-NASB-21835u]trousers [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel%203&version=NASB#fen-NASB-21835v]damaged, nor had even the smell of fire touched them.
28 Nebuchadnezzar responded and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent His angel and rescued His servants who put their trust in Him, [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel%203&version=NASB#fen-NASB-21836w]violating the king’s command, and surrendered their bodies rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. 29 Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or population of any language that speaks anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego shall be torn limb from limb and their houses made a rubbish heap, because there is no other god who is able to save in this way.”
