But I think what happens is that we put work in rest
But I think what happens is that we put work in rest
we seek the benefits of sabbath rest apart from the rhythms of sabbath rest.
When rest becomes work or form escape rather than true deep fulfillment.
We find very quickly that our times of rest don’t provide refreshment.

I need a vacation from my vacation.
I love Fridays, I hate Mondays.
The dread of Sunday evenings.
Another week of what we must do, rather than what we get to do.
Not all rest refreshes, not renews
True rest comes from abiding in Jesus
: Jesus talks about true rest and fulfillment
Abide in my love
Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
Jesus says, abide in my love
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
abide in my love
In the Love of God
This type of rest brings joy.
Song of songs says
your love is more delightful than wine.
The love of God is like the finest wine.
It is complex, robust, smooth, intoxicating.
The love of God is like the finest wine.
Good wine goes unnoticed by most pallets.
Me $25 - $200
Good wine goes unnoticed by most pallets.
In the same way, Gods love goes unnoticed by most pallets.
Conditioned to consume the cheap stuff.
The almost things, The appetites of the flesh.
We are all given the love of God, without all the stuff.
Feast on my
The life love and joy of God.
This child like wonder
Some where along the way our Joy unaided by consumption traded for escape always aided by consumption.
Joy unaided by consumption traded for escape always aided by consumption.
That almost works.
It is hard to give up something that almost works.

When rest becomes work, or when rest doesn’t provide refreshment
I begin the sabbatical position to remove all the stuff, consumption, the escapism in order to feast on the love of God.
To develop a greater pallet for the good stuff.
To reclaim joy
RELEASE: Participating in the Ministry of Trust
My hopeful goal is to cease from work, but more importantly to cease from the need to be approved by my production or accomplishments in ministry.

Felt very busy
How can I lead people into the quiet place beside the still waters if I am in perpetual motion?
Jewish custom for sabbath is to make all the preparations for the sabbath and welcome the sabbath in with lighting a candle that symbolizes creation, light and life.
