TIME FLIES LIKE FRUIT FLIES LIKE A BANANA

TWENTYEIGHTHfebruarytwoohohseven

early in the morning six o'clock
daniel and so-and-so went for a walk
halfway through, his pants drop
so-and-so's eyes went pop pop pop

i asked.
i heard.
"Isaiah 56:2"

"Blessed is the man who does this, the man
who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps his
hand from doing any evil." - Isaiah 56:2

Sabbath? sure anot? now 21st century leh.
i asked for a confirmation on the word 'Sabbath'.
first try: dehh! no such verse.
second try: dehh! no link.
third try: Luke 6:7. jackpot!

"The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath." - Luke 6:7

so what is the Lord telling me?
i sensed the message was:
Have a break, have a Kit Kat!

hmmm, i thought, and glanced back at my entry title yesterday.
"I So Want To Sleep" it read.
this message is definitely God's word for me!
whoa, talk about random blog entry titles.

Truths about the Sabbath:

• the principle of the Sabbath came from the fact that God rested on the 7th day after 6 days of creation
• we are commanded to do likewise in respect and acknowledgement to God
• the Sabbath is biblically on Saturday (the 7th day)

so how?

*Application: i am convicted to observe the Sabbath on Saturdays. no work, just holy rest in the Lord.

*Reflection: i am comforted by the Lord's word for me to rest in the midst of the busiest week of my lifeasitisnow. even as i have asked the Lord to show me more of his mind-blowing love yesterday, he has already demonstrated so today, in careandconcern and tenderlovingcare. rest, my child. take a break.

*Refection 2: yesterday in my tiredness, i asked the Lord to grant me Godly rest and a supernaturally-goodnight'ssleep in my 5 hours of slumber. amazingly, today i woke up FRESH and feeling verywellrested. it is a MIRACLE! praise God.

*Lesson Learnt: the Lord can bless us with Godly REST!

will YOU ask God for supernatural sleep?
