The Sabbath is more than just spending
time in church and prayer. It is a precious day to be eagerly
awaited like a bride coming to her husband. It is not simply a day
of prayer but a day of spiritual enrichment, where we feed our
spirits with the word of God and spend time in worship before God.
The Sabbath is not simply a day of
eating, but a day of feasting more lavishly than normal (now the
Jewish figure makes sense, tee hee). Isn't that such a beautiful
picture, we not only get to feed our bodies in a way that will allow
us to feel truly satisfied but we feed our spirits and nourish our
spirit man too.
I think if we were to ask God to open
our spiritual eyes, what would see would be a bunch of anorexic
Christians. Let's be honest, most of us go to church out of duty or
habit, we seldom make the effort to feast our spirit man in God's
presence.
Why not ask God to create a desire
within you for the coming Sabbath, ask him for a hunger for his word.
Then prepare your heart to feast before God in worship.
