I had a good rest today. :)

haha, didn't manage to go somewhere like by the beach or some parks to have some quiet moments, just went to some coffee house and sat there, read and think.
i think once in a long while, is good to have a personal retreat---a retreat that medidate on God's Word. :) :)

let me share with you some thoughts before i turn to bed.
it is amazing that what i was reading is about rest too! I'm reading this book titled: Written in Stone. which is talks about the Ten Commandements and Today's Moral Crisis. Do we still obey the Ten Commandements even though we are so called under the new covanent? Of course we do right, so how to in this present time.
so anyway, i was reading on the fourth commandement about keeping the Sabbath day holy.
some extracts from the chapeter :

"we are called to work and rest because we serve a working,resting God."

"Our problem is that we find it so hard to take genuine delight inthe sanctified pleasures of God.Dare I say it? God bores us. We are willing to spend some of our time worshiping Him. but then we feel like we need a break, and so we go right back to the world's lesser pleasures.But the more we learn to delight in God, the more willing we are to keep his day holy."

Learning points for me :
I am under His grace( He saved us though we do not deserve), yet often I am so unwilling to give that one day unto Him alone, wants to bargin the time to do more work ( it could be church work too).

I could be physically be in church but I am not truly setting aside the day for Him as my mind and heart might be at somewhere else. I'm once again reminded that going church is not about attendance but about whether am I ready to worship God.

Sunday is for us to rest, and this rest does not mean I sleep very long then get rest or go out with friends, but the rest should be tuning back to God (the One who made you), to be refreshed by Him.

Sabbath day is not the last day of the week, but the first day of the week. It is the Lord's Day:D


I haven really comprehend finding rest in Him alone but I know what Jesus has done for us gives meaning to everything in our lives. So let's just keep finding out! =)
