Sabbath Saves from so much if we let it, and we miss out on all that when we say it doesn’t save…simply because it doesn’t save eternally. Sabbath was never offered to save souls from damnation so rejecting if on that bases is baseless. It is like rejecting the boat for not being the lifeguard.
Sabbath will save from so very many sorrows in this life if we only allow it to do its work in us while we are not doing any work ourselves.
Trust the Master of the Sabbath to do His work in you using the tools He made for that purpose - His Sabbaths.
Worry and fear and stress and anxiety. Exhaustion and depression and desperation and dread all are dealt with in Sabbath. We are delivered from these diabolical life destroyers if we desire to be and do the thing necessary to make it happen. If we Shabbat when it is time to cease and simply let go.
When we give that time over to the Most High we give over all our burdens to Him too. And when we get back to the madness of the world once more the obligations returned to us are somehow so much lighter and managable.
So many folks want to hold on to just a little bit more that eventually they bare so much the burden becomes crushing. They cry out for mercy and the Almighty to take it all away, to help them bare the load but He already told us how to make it happen.
Sabbath is the unburdening. But only if you allow your strong Savior to take up your burden. And to do that you have to set it down…when He said and where He is. He won’t come to you your way to take up your struggle on your behalf and fight along side you while you push past your abilities to endure.
He will only invite you to His Home for a few hours each week where true and complete Rest is awaiting but most folks walk right past that address trudging on ever tired and ever trying to make it on their own steam.
Stop in. Set your pack down. Stay awhile. The road will still be there and the journey when you are done recovering your strength (and a goodly amount of His).
