Sabbath Day Six - A Hymn for All Time
Sacred Rhythms: Discovering God’s Gift of SabbathIn a noisy, restless world that constantly demands more from us, God offers a gift most of us rarely unwrap: Sabbath. Far from being an outdated command or a rigid rule, Sabbath is an invitation into the life we were created to live: a rhythm of stopping, resting, and remembering the goodness of God.This 6-day devotional, Sacred Rhythms: Discovering God’s Gift of Sabbath, blends history, story, scripture, and prayer to guide you into that rhythm. From Elijah’s encounter with God’s gentle whisper, to Bach’s relentless melodies, from the creation of Labor Day to the quiet faith of Eric Liddell, from Lincoln’s 271 words to the spirituals sung on the road to freedom, each day offers a fresh reminder that Sabbath is woven into both the fabric of creation and the story of redemption.Whether you are weary from work, distracted by busyness, or simply longing for deeper peace, these reflections will help you pause, breathe, and find your rest in the presence of the Lord. Sabbath isn’t just a day on the calendar. It’s a way of life.Come and rediscover the God who speaks in whispers, strengthens in stillness, and renews His people in the gift of holy rest.___You can read along with our journey through the sabbath on Passion Equip HERE.
