Keep the Sabbath Door Open

Wednesday. I sa. 58:6-14.

God. asks a seventh of our time as an acknowledgment that it’s all his. Giving him the seventh of our time weekly helps bring us into that touch of life where he can flood his best into all the days. If we reckon the (lay as his, in grateful acknowledgment of all he’s given us, he will help us steer a wise course between the Sabbath looseness so common, and the old straight-laced rigor that made the day a burden.
