Abiding Practice: Sabbath

We were created to do meaningful work and be fruitful, but we weren't meant to become slaves to work and productivity. Our world of hurry never stops, but we can develop a counter-habit of stopping each week to rest in the goodness of God's creation together.

Sabbath comes from the Hebrew word, Shabbat, which means "to stop." 

This week set aside a day or specific time to stop working, unplug and enjoy rest with God and community. Try starting with a meal to kickoff Sabbath. Light a candle, say a prayer, bless your kids or friends and pour some wine!
