Blog Post 7/15/2022 – Keeping the Sabbath

 

 

If you unfold a map of Scotland and look at the West Country, over by Loch Lomond, you’ll find a spot on the map labeled “Rest and Be Thankful.”

 

 

That’s not an instruction from the mapmaker.  It’s actually the name of a mountain pass, noted for its breathtaking view.

The place got its name because, in the days before motorcars, you had to slog through a long, uphill climb to get there. 

Once you topped the crest of the hill, you found yourself in a broad, level place, with a spectacular vista: a sight made all the sweeter by the knowledge that the road was all downhill from there.  [Proclaim Sermons.com]

“Rest and be thankful” is a great way to honor the Lord, God Who created us and Who wants the absolute best for us.   Making the Sabbath a “Holy Priority” will honor God and center us.

 

May God Be Praised!
