#21 is… Amazing Sundays.
4,160. That’s how many Sundays most people get. And we waste them. We waste them being too busy. We waste them being hungover. We waste them being unintentional. We waste them letting the culture push us around. We waste them. And Sundays are too good to be wasted.
I missed so many Sundays travelling. It is one thing that I regret, looking back on all my years on the road. And perhaps in the larger scheme of things it isn’t a regret, but I certainly have a sense of loss when I reflect on it.
Sundays are beautiful, because Sunday is the Sabbath. The Sabbath is more than a day of rest. It is a day or rejuvenation, realignment, and renewal.
When was the last time you really experience Sabbath? How long has it been since you tasted the joy of the Sabbath? Think about it. The joy of the Sabbath. It may have been a while. It may have been a very long while.
My prayer for you this Christmas is that you rediscover the Sabbath.
Whatever good things you want to increase in your life, honor the sabbath and it shall be so. This is the secret power of the sabbath. I cannot explain it fully. But reflect upon what it is you most want to increase in your life… do you want a relationship to improve, do you want to become healthier, do you want more success in your career, do you want to be a better parent, do you want less stress and anxiety, do you want the quality of your friendships to improve…
Whatever it is. Whatever good things you want to increase in your life, honor the sabbath and it shall be so.
