Made to Meet Our Needs

Mark 2:27-28

"Then Jesus said to them, "The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of the people, not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath."


 


 


God created the Sabbath because people need rest. How many of us don't rest until sickness or stress wears us out and forces us to lay up for a day? Those who choose not to observe the Sabbath (a day of rest) are only forfeiting God's provision for their needs. How many other areas in our life do we do this? God's commands are for our benefit and His glory, for when God's people are joyful and content (neither of these are quite the right word), He will be glorified!  


My mother is still in the hospital. She has a lung infection. She might be in the hospital for two more weeks. I went to see her on Weds. We made bead braclets with the art therapist. My mom really enjoyed it! Praise God!
