Fluttering Carefully

The Lord has given us such an excellent treat and blessing in the sabbath: a day cordoned off from the rest of the week. It has kept me from getting homework done and maybe making some extra money on the side on a web job. However, those things fade in comparison to the excellency of the Lord who created, sanctified and redeemed that day for all men, not the least of which are his saints. The day is an excellent day to devote to his worship, and resting and a way to leave the mundane for a small—though perfectly adequate—reprieve. How merciful is the Lord who gave he so sweet a rest (and that every week).
