Scripture - a Holy Day

Learn to relax especially on the Sabbath!

Exodus 20:8-11 (AMP)

⁸“Remember the Sabbath (seventh) day to keep it holy (set apart, dedicated to God). ⁹Six days you shall labour and do all your work, ¹⁰but the seventh day is a Sabbath [a day of rest dedicated] to the Lord your God; on that day you shall not do any work, you or your son, or your daughter, or your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock or the temporary resident (foreigner) who stays within your [city] gates. ¹¹For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and He rested (ceased) on the seventh day. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy [that is, set it apart for His purposes].

Scripture for Saturday

Galatians 6:2 (AMP)

²Carry one another burdens and in this way you will fulfil the requirements of the law of Christ [that is, the law of Christian love].

I want to encourage you today, to be there in a crisis for your friends and family. I know that it's important to just have someone contacting me. I feel they actually care about me and that I am important to them. I find when speaking to my husband for example he makes eye contact and actually listens to what I am saying. That is such a comfort to me.

Sometimes life just seems to be bent out of proportion and I just feel anxious and all alone. I normally withdraw but one person that I can rely on is my husband. He has a calming way about him and always tries to reassure me things will be fine. Reminding me that there is always a way to sort this situation out.

I am constantly reminded to focus on real issues, and not think of "what if" they aren't in play.
