We live in a 25/8 culture, packing our lives with so much activity and frenzy that we feel we need an extra hour each day and an extra day each week – just to keep up! The Sabbath, an ancient custom of God’s people, is an unopened gift for so many of us. In the weeks to come, we’ll open this gift and USE it (not just learn about it). We’ll see that Sabbath involves resisting the siren call of self-importance; it gives rest and restoration; it invites us to pray and play. The gift of Sabbath, if we dare to open it, will grab hold of us and heighten our anticipation of future grace gifts from our Father!
