What are you resting from?

Aurthor: Willie Pruitt

Exodus 20:9-11

Six days shall you labor, and do all your work: 

But the 7th day is the Day of Rest of Yah: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: 

For in six days Yah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the 7th day: wherefore Yah blessed the Day of Rest. He sanctified it & set it apart.

What exactly are you resting from?

Do you actually work the other 6 days at what you are resting from?

Is this day an excuse for you to continue to neglect the work that you are supposed to be doing?

Are you lazy?

These are questions that if honestly reflected on would change many of our lives.

We all have work that needs to be done 6 days out of the week, either in our families, careers, ministries, or personal walks with Yah.

All too often, we neglect or put off what we should be doing, then take an undeserved "Day of Rest."

Taking a break from sin or work that you shouldn't be doing in the first place is fake repentance at best.

Taking an extension of your weeklong break on the Rest Day is also wrong!

Remember that the command is to work 6 days and rest 1.

If you are doing all that you should be doing in your family role, career, ministry, and personal walk with Yah, the Rest Day will be a refreshing day to relax and reset.

Anything else is just another religious exercise to check off.

May we all do what we are supposed to be doing so we can righteously enjoy this Day of Rest.

Something to consider.
