Sunday is a day of rest – well it is interesting how we interpret rest.

We put a human interpretation on rest – as if God rested His weariness, His muscles, His mind from creating the earth in 7 days – but honestly we know that God did not slumber in rest – He totally was still God – but for creating the earth He took the time to say “I did it”…

Our rest can not be restful in a physical way if we don’t let ourselves rest.

Our rest can not be restful in an emotional way if we don’t acknowledge we need it.

Our rest can not be restful in a spiritual way if we don’t accept that “in God we trust” – that we let God be in charge – and that we acknowledge that in Him we will be OK.

Our rest is in God being in control.

Rest this Sunday also in an active way – IN PRAISE!!!

The rest that is personal is also praiseworthy. The rest from work work means time for worship. We can still work with our hands, allowing the Lord to work our minds.

And if God’s Command is to rest – to accept the worship of completeness in Him, then especially because we often can not keep all the 10 commandments perfectly without breaking them, especially the one about jealousy, nor the one about taking His Name in vain, nor the one about putting God and Love and Godly things first, then we forgiveness. We need to find the REST in the One who makes us perfecting and Who covers our sins with forgiveness” JESUS…  And Jesus is FOR us!!!

If Jesus is FOR us – then we can not fail – and we can not fail to have rest.

MAY WE REST IN JESUS!!! All PRAISE and Honor is Yours!

AMEN

MAY WE REST IN JESUS!!!

AMEN

Exodus 20:1-17 NKJV
The Ten Commandments
And God spoke all these words, saying:
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work,  but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
“You shall not murder.
“You shall not commit adultery.
“You shall not steal.
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
