Sabbath

Genesis 2:2-3
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested [a] from all his work. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

God took a day of rest after working hard. We work hard, therefore following his example we also need to take a day off.

Exodus 16:23
He said to them, "This is what the LORD commanded: 'Tomorrow is to be a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.' "

It is also one of the ten commandments. Over the years we have learned much about stress, it's complications and it's problems. I don't think anyone will tell you they don't have stress, and many of us have too much stress. I learned a lot this summer about the importance of taking daily time for yourself as well as taking a Sabbath. Many of us will say we don't "need" it, however are not telling the whole truth. We need to feel our souls and rest our bodies and our minds. I don't think I really need to harp on this topic, but I did want to touch on it.
Take some time to rest
