Sabbath: A Divine Opportunity to Play

Read Isaiah 11:1-11

"Play and Sabbath are joined at the hip, and sometimes we rest best when we play the hardest." ~Mark Buchanan

In order to play we must:

1. Be spontaneous.

2. Be light on the rules.

3. Take risks.

4. Lose awareness of time.

5. Enjoy the moment.

Sabbath: A Divine Opportunity to Experience Life

Read John 6:60-66

“The future, good or ill, was not forgotten, but ceased to have any power over the present. Health and hope grew strong in them, and they were content with each good day as it came, taking pleasure in every meal, and in every word and song.” ~J.R.R Tolkien

1. Jesus is the only one who offers us life.

2. It is difficult for us to accept life.

3. Sabbath is God's gift for us to experience life.

Application: This week we challenge you to cease from what is necessary. Embrace that which gives you life.
