Psalm: 72 Meditation Jeremiah: These 8 verses discuss just how important “keeping the sabbath” is to God. This is not about “Sunday”!  The point here, as in Lent, is to take time away from the vicissitudes of life to relax and to focus on God (and His word). I doubt that if it were not …

Psalms: 61, 64 Meditation John: Do we ever make the story not about us? The paralytic had been under that curse for 38 years. Following local custom, (or what may be termed as superstition) he would go to this pool hoping for a cure. Along came Jesus and cured him. Apparently, the Jewish rulers and …

Psalm: 147 Meditation Luke: Two more examples of “straining the gnat” (KJV)(Matthew 23:24) or of not seeing the forest for the trees. Let’s face it. Pharisees are righteous, righteous, righteous! Paul as much as said so and he was a Pharisee. The trouble with Pharisees is they tended to broadcast their righteousness with an “outside …

Psalm: 86 Meditation Luke: Talk about “missing the boat” and a complete lack of compassion… This is a study in legalism. This unfortunate woman had been crippled, bent over, for 18 years. One Sabbath day Jesus sees her in a synagogue and exercises God’s lovingkindness on her by healing her. But the leader of the …

Psalm 20 Meditation: Hebrews – Somewhere along the line, our culture decided that rest equals laziness. Haw you ever been physically or mentally exhausted but couldn’t allow yourself to rest because there’s something else you could be doing? This is not God’s plan for us. God commanded us to rest because our bodies, which God …

Psalm: 81 Meditation Matthew: Matthew tells us here that the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus asking Him for a sign from heaven (or God). Well, we know it could not have been a Sabbath day this time – that would constitute what we call entrapment. Jesus then thwarts their attempts by telling them …

Psalms: 22 Meditation Mark: Mark’s gospel is the shortest and perhaps lighter on details. This is a “no frills” report on the healing of a blind man, Bartimaeus, by name. Here, Jesus simply says “Go, your faith has healed you.” Immediately… In another gospel an unnamed blind man had to wash out the mud made …

“Who are you when you are not working?” That question makes me feel uncomfortable because the answer terrifies me. I have to be productive in order to have a “good day” because without accomplishments I am nothing. That is a problem. I recognize that I am more driven than most, but have you ever noticed …

Family Challenge: Keeping a Sabbath

Memorize this passage as a family: Exodus 20:8-11: Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your …
