4: Worship

4: Worship This day is holy because God proclaimed it to be. Setting aside a Sabbath gives us an opportunity to intentionally create time and space to draw near to God. He invites us to do this through worship, which probably looks a little different for each of us, but serves the same purpose: to enjoy God and give our hearts to him. All of our Sabbath activities should be completed in celebration and reverence of his love and his goodness. Without practicing a true Sabbath, we fall into the dangers offered by the rhythms of this world. Those of burnout and exhaustion. Of stress, and anxiety, and short tempers. Of relying on our own strength rather than God’s promises. Instead, God gave us the gift of Sabbath as a weekly celebration of human flourishing and limitations: a day to stop, delight, rest, and worship.
