What a difference!


A day can make a big difference!
Life can change in an instant - for better or for worse - we all know this. However, life can also take on a new look if we make an intentional change ourselves. It may not be a radical change, but it can still produce something dynamic.

This is what I had to do this week. I needed to get away somewhere quiet, just to let my 'soul catch up with my body!' So for just over a day (and night) I read, prayed, slept, ate, walked, read, wrote, prayed and slept.

I am beginning to understand even more clearly now why God planned the Sabbath at the end of the 6 days of work. It was in order for us to rest, to recuperate, to reflect and to recapture the desire for the next 6 days. The 7th Day is crucial for our survival.

Exodus 20:11 - For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Hebrews 4:9 - There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God

If you get a chance, why don't you see what difference 24 hours can make in your life? If you need some help getting started drop me a line.

Living in Grace,
