A Day With God
Genesis 2:2-3
I'm imagining what that first Sabbath was like. The earth was brand new; every sight was a new experience, every smell an adventure in fragrance, every moment fresh and alive. Life itself was vibrant and exciting! There was no fear, no concern about how things would turn out - only pure enjoyment.
It's hard to think that God wouldn't want to be a part of this - I'm sure that God spent the day with Adam and Eve. This was a special time, a time devoted to enjoying each other's company. In my imagination, I see the three of them walking through the garden, sharing new sights, exploring new regions, laughing together, and drawing closer and closer.
Does God want any less for me or you? No, I think God wants us all to have these kinds of experiences with Him. He wants us to spend that special time with Him, drawing closer and closer as we walk with Him. And so, I thank Him that He set aside a special time, the Sabbath, to spend with me; a time for exploration and admiration of His creation, a time of joy and laughter, a time like no other time because it's time spent with Him.

God definitely knew what he was doing by creating the Sabbath
i know that the Sabbath has helped me be reminded of God's presence. there was a time when i stopped going to church. however, since i grew up going to church every Sabbath, i sensed God's presence on Sabbath even when i was skipping church. it was a weekly reminder of God's presence and grace. God wanted me to focus on him and rest from my earthly labors
