THE DAILY BLUEPRINT FOR 11-15-06
HEBREWS WALK #48
HEBREWS 4:4
For He spoke in a certain place of the seventh day
on this wise, And God did rest on the seventh
Day from all His works!
One of the Ten Commandments dealt with the Sabbath day - there has been much debate through time as to what all this is to mean - some take it and run with it - making it legalistic - others ignore it all together- and some fall in the middle - God the Creator of all things Rested on the 7th day - He spent 6 days creating and one resting -and gave to Moses the Law that stated that the Sabbath must be kept and kept holy - Some consider Saturday as the true Sabbath while others have their Sabbath on Sunday - The early church did this because JESUS CHRIST rose from the dead on Sunday - so that became a day of celebration for what God had done for us! God just wants us to honor HIM everyday! Jesus came and fulfilled the whole law- we in our flesh cannot keep the law - and when we think we do - we can allow pride to creep in and cause us to sin - none of us are perfect- we all have flaws - some may be on the surface while others may not be - one area I feel God is taking about today is that we can keep the Sabbath with our actions - but what about our hearts? Do we just do what we have to do - so we can be on good terms with God - or do we know Him and love Him -and thereby follow what HE commands - God sees right past all of the pageantry and straight into our hearts - HE knows when we mean what we say and do - lets make sure our heart and our actions line up - Jesus said many times to the religious leaders of the day about whitewashed tomes and the fact that they washed the outside but the inside was full of dead mans bones - Lets worship God completely -not halfhearted - We seem to be able to watch a ball game for 3 hours - but balk at spending extra time in prayer - or extra time in church while our pastor tries to end the sermon! God knows our hearts -what will He find in them today?
A side note: God says that if we love HIM we will obey Him - the fact that he does not put an astricks by His words means there is no wiggle room - apart from Christ we cannot make it - but through HIS Blood we can! amen!
With CHRIST we live lives of worship!
