I have a general question about the Sabbath. Do no ordinary work, what exactly does that mean. So for example if my son comes over for the weekend and he wants to go fishing on Saturday am I offending God? What if my son in law comes to visit our place in the woods and wants to hunt with me on Saturday? I guess my thinking is I am not a professional fisherman so do something recreational like fishing is not work. Same goes for hunting? Any input or feedback on this would really be appreciated.
Everything God does is planned; everything is in order. He created the world on a timetable with each element created on a specific day for a purpose. God could have made everything in a single instant, yet he designed a process that required seven days. He didn't reach the end of the sixth day and say to himself, "Whew! I need a break!" The Seventh Day #sabbath (not the first day or the fourth day) was an inherent part of God's perfect plan from before Creation.

Ancient (and not-so-ancient) herders were nomads, but they didn't move randomly. They guided their herds on regular circuits of pastureland. When one area was grazed down, they moved on to the next, mimicking the behavior of wild herds. They couldn't break camp and move on to anywhere they wanted; there were cities, farms, and even ranches that had to be respected. Even so, they often competed with each other for access to grazing and water, sometimes violently. This is the background for the conflict and negotiations between King Abimelech and Father Abraham in #genesis 20. #vayera
After Lot's wife died because she longed to return to the filth of Sodom, he lapsed into foolishness again when his daughters got him too drunk to see straight (Gen 19). Contrast this with what Abraham did after Sarah died. He gave strict instructions to Eliezer to find the right kind of wife for Isaac and to avoid the wrong kind of wife at all costs. Both men became the fathers of nations, but the name of one is reviled by nearly everyone, while the name of the other is honored by billions.

Reflecting on the outcomes of the midterm elections got me to thinking. How much does Yah consider the affairs of man? Was He invested in the outcome of any particular race? Obviously He is almighty and can use righteous leaders as well as unrighteous, but I'm curious to hear your opinions on whether the Father micromanages who sits in a State Assembly seat, or always allows the will of men to prevail by way of voting.
