SHCOC Daily Bible Reading

In our reading for today, God commands the people of Israel to partake in a day of rest and convocation (Leviticus 23:3). I don’t have time to go through all the ins and outs of the Sabbath and what it does or does not mean for today. However, I think it is clear that God is our creator, He is the potter and we are the clay, and He knows best. He tells us each week, we need to rest from our work and we need a time of public assembly and worship (convocation). I am 50 years old. Some will say that’s young and others will say I am old. Nevertheless, I have lived long enough to know that God is right about this. I have run myself ragged in work for years and so have many of you. God says rest. Also, I know that I need some time each week in worship to experience and think about something bigger than myself. Work your six days but take the Lord’s Day and rest and worship God.
