This past Sunday I taught that God designed us each with a “back yard” space in our lives – a space that we are to use to rest and play. He gave us a pattern to use that space when He rested on the seventh day following His creation week. \u0643\u064a\u0641\u064a\u0629 \u0644\u0639\u0628\u0629 \u0631\u0648\u0644\u064a\u062a<\/a> <\/p>\n

I mentioned that I personally, after being challenged by another pastor (thanks Mike<\/a>), have learned to take off one day per week from my “providing” job at our church<\/a>. I don’t check emails, voice mails, schedule meetings, etc. \u0642\u0648\u0627\u0639\u062f \u0644\u0639\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0648\u0643\u0631<\/a> on Friday, because that’s my Sabbath, or “day of rest”.<\/p>\n

At the end I challenged everyone to pick one day each week through May and intentionally schedule it as a day away from your normal job responsibilities. What day did \/ will you choose to follow God’s pattern and obey His Word in this area? \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0631\u0627\u0647\u0646\u0629<\/a> <\/p>\n

Don’t forget to let me know how your life is changed by taking a Sabbath each week in May!<\/p>\n
