Exodus 31:15 NKJV Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
Though Sabbath never changed, we meet on Sunday, and Monday has been my day off even before I got ordained. I’ve learned the importance of taking a day off because that is how my creator designed me. Gone are the days where I used to say that I’ll rest when I’m dead, instead I work as hard as I can for six days and rest on my day off. Last week, my old boss from 1994 asked me what I do for fun, and I joked that I look in the mirror because it often makes me laugh. I used to watch mindless action movies to entertain myself, but now I find the depths of the Word of God satisfying. Before the stroke, I used to find solace in playing the guitar. Playing now is frustrating but I have hope.
Exodus 32:12,32 NKJV Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, ‘He brought them out to harm them, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce wrath, and relent from this harm to Your people. [32] Yet now, if You will forgive their sin-but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written.”
You got to hand it to Moses. In one version, he told God in His face to repent, and wonder of wonders, God actually listened to him. Then he had the audacity to demand that God forgive Israel or blot his name out. First of all, I would be too scared to tell God to repent and secondly, I wouldn’t want my name blotted out from the Book of Life, then again, thank God that I’m not Moses.
