It’s a pleasant morning, cool and damp, looks like we’ll get some rain today. I’m sitting on the tail-gate of my truck along the edge of the hay field, watching the eastern sky change colors as the sun begins to rise. I’m sorry I have not posted in a couple of days, but I have been asking folks I know about the Sabbath. I hope I am not coming across as some sort of zealot about this. I just need to get a peace about this before I can move on. So far I have not found anyone who can give me a solid, reasonable answer about why this commandment is just completely ignored. What I do get is lots of twisting and turning explanations, silence or obscure scripture references. Then I get trumped with the old, you’re legalistic about something that doesn’t matter. I think it matters, my heart is searching for answers and it’s telling me it matters. As I pray along with thousands of my fellow believers for spiritual revival, the issue of obedience stares me in the face and I know it matters.
Is anyone out there?
Does it bother anyone that we seem to be a people that just don’t really want to be obedient?
We want revival and blessings and purpose, without being inconvenienced…….
Can anyone help me?
25 My life is down in the dust;
give me life through Your word.
26 I told You about my life,
and You listened to me;
teach me Your statutes.
27 Help me understand
the meaning of Your precepts
so that I can meditate on Your wonders.
28 I am weary from grief;
strengthen me through Your word.
29 Keep me from the way of deceit
and graciously give me Your instruction.
30 I have chosen the way of truth;
I have set Your ordinances before me.
31 I cling to Your decrees;
LORD, do not put me to shame.
32 I pursue the way of Your commands,
for You broaden my understanding.
