Burning at Both Ends | Exodus 20 | Seth Tomboli
from NLC Fayetteville · host New Life Church - Fayetteville
God gives us a command in Exodus 20 to honor the sabbath. A day designed for us to rest and replenish with our father. There is a critical importance to rest in a culture that glorifies constant busyness. We often say it’s “burning the candle at both ends.” God designed humans to work six days and rest one day, rest is not weakness but a divine mandate. This commandment is not to limit us but to restore us with God. It’s not often a scheduling issue we have with honoring this day, but a heart issue. Jesus promises that those who come to Him, He will give rest. But we must come to Him. We must sabbath. And in order to do so well, on our sabbath we must stop our work, enjoy rest, practice delight and remember God.
