Sabbath is relentlessly calling. Words written and spoken seem to resound with this rest. Sabbath is a time of waiting on Him, watching for Him and welcoming Him into every moment. In the quiet He comes. In the silence He speaks. Sabbath is living, breathing, impacting and inspiring.
Sabbath is complete sacrifice to know the Savior completely.
Just as there was a sacrifice before entering into His Presence in the Holy of
Holies, there is a sacrifice before I meet Him in the Sabbath Rest. God is
arranging for more and more externals to “quiet” so the innermost will “listen”
to Him. He is silencing the conversations and the connections. He is testing the priorities of choices. Life is reviewed as God is revealed.
All is to surrender in silence while waiting on Him. After much sacrifice, silence ushers in the reality of His beauty, love, and Presence that was previously crowded by distractions. Deeper love in the quieting of the mind, intimacy of the heart, and words of life.

Sabbath is not a vacation, but a journey.
It’s not a retreat, but a relationship. It’s not segregated, but tapestrated.
Hours of Him become a life of Us. It’s not just the absence of work, but the
full Presence of Holiness.
Sabbath is rest and relationship: On that day, He rested
from His work…to enjoy His workmanship. On this day, Sabbath is releasing my
restraints to embrace His love. Sabbath is laying down all of who I am to
embrace all of Who He is. ALL. Rest: be still. Relationship: know He is God.

Written well! I especially like the sabbath is relationship!! Nailed it on the head. Physical rest restores every cell in our body just like the sabbath restores our soul.
Love love the Sabbath post. God wants us to rest!!!
Exactly what I needed to hear. God calls us to enter His rest but that doesn't mean we stop moving. Tank you Michelle for sharing something so beautifully & truthfully written.
Finally took a few minutes to read your post (life has been a bit hectic and stressful). Very inspired blog – touching on one of my biggest problems – being totally quiet – especially my mind—always swirling—hard to sit still and just be and listen to God’s still small voice. Thank you for putting a goal for me to obtain.
beautiful!!!
