2. Sabbath and Snow Days
"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six
days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the
seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it
you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or
daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor
your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 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.
God commands us to rest and to let
the earth to rest!
3. Is Sabbath Part of Your Life?
•I take Sabbath time every week.
Time apart is important.
•I take some down time now and
then.
•Vacations are my Sabbath.
•Sabbath is overrated. I like staying
busy.
•Who has time to rest? I will sleep
when I die.
4. Exodus 16:9-30 teaches us
• God provides in unexpected ways (manna)
just as we need him to.
• Don't hoard or things will go rotten
• Rest on the seventh day, just as God rested. If
it's good enough for God it should be good
enough for us to do!
