Exodus 34:21 - Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

Growing up we were taught that you worked Monday – Saturday and you rested on Sunday because it was the Lord’s Day. When we don’t rest, we cannot think clearly on what needs to be done and what should be done. The body can only run for so long without a break.

I spoke on this yesterday, July 30th, at my church. I have spoken on this before, last year, but this time it is live, and it is still relevant a year later.  I always do this kind of talk right before school starts reminding parents and teachers prayer doesn’t start at school, it starts at home.

It’s time for our children to ‘know” God and not just know “of” God.  When we are not around, God is who they will need to turn to for their help.

Romans 12: 10-14 says:

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 

As children of God, we are not to judge but love one another.  God made us all different for a reason.  Being different gives different perspectives on things, it gives new ideas, fresh solutions, it keeps the world we live in from being boring and mundane.  A lot has changed for Jesus’ time, and He knew it would, but what remains the same is our love for another.
