Having been in Egypt for centuries as slaves, the Israelites needed some training as God’s people. He began teaching them to observe His seventh-day Sabbath for rest and fellowship with Him. This involved planning ahead on Friday, the sixth day of the week. Is this something you do today? Observing the Sabbath produces benefits in our relationship with God, plus rest from the world’s stress. Too often, we slip away from keeping God’s seventh-day Sabbath the way He ordained it. What worldly habits and little changes have slowly crept in to make keeping Sabbath more about us than Him?
