God has been speaking a lot to me about the Sabbath lately.
While there are those who teach that the idea of the Sabbath is a part of the Law that Jesus fulfilled, I believe that it preceded the Law.
God instituted the Sabbath long before He gave the Law to Moses.
He rested on the 7th day of Creation, setting for us the expectation that we would learn how to rest – body, soul, and spirit.
Jesus Himself rested often. We read about that in the Gospels – but He didn’t rest in the way we think of rest.
So often, we think of rest as the absence of duty and the ability to do (or not do) what we want.
Jesus’ example of rest was actually quite different. When Jesus rested, He withdrew from the crowds, found a place alone, and fellowshipped with His Father.
He knew that fellowshipping with the Father restores and refreshes the spirit of a man.
In previous times, this was a part of normal weekly activities. It was understood that Sunday was a day of rest: no cooking, no cleaning, or doing anything but prayer and meditation on Scripture.
Admittedly, there were times it was made religious and burdensome – not at all what God intended.
But there is a principle here that I believe we are missing out on today, and we are thereby robbed of true soul and spirit rest that refreshes us physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
We are not able to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength because we are burdened and busy by so many other things; we don’t have the capacity to love Him in this way.
That is why we need to find that secret place where, like Jesus, we can withdraw from the busy-ness of life, get alone, and fellowship with the Father.
Are you ready?

A Little More About Good Morning Girls and My Groups
Good Morning Girls is an online Bible study for women. Began by Courtney Joseph in her church, she took the Bible study to the Internet in 2009 and invited ladies all over America to join her in keeping each other accountable to their daily time with the Lord.
Little did she know that this Bible study would extend beyond the borders of America to literally every region of the world!!
In 2014 I joined Courtney, together with my dear friends Misty, Mandy and Bridget, in helping to lead Good Morning Girls. It has been an amazing journey as we’ve watched Good Morning Girls not only grow beyond what we could have dreamed or imagine, but we’ve had the amazing honor to see women’s lives changed by daily digging into God’s Word!
Good Morning Girls is a simple study – we simply read the Bible.
We believe that there is power in the Word of God and the Word of God alone can defeat the enemy. So we read one chapter a day 5 days a week. And we will continue this method until we’ve read through the entire Bible!!
All the materials are free and are available at Women Living Well!
In the summer of 2012 I opened the very first Good Morning Girls group in Croatia.
12 women, all members of my church.
I had no idea where it would lead. But by the following summer it exploded to cover the countries of Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia.
