“Here is the offense of the Sabbath commandment. Ever since the Fall, when Adam and Eve declared their independence from God, everyone descending from our first parents has deeply resented God’s claim of sovereignty over time. We think time is ours, to use as we please, and we do not respect the rule of the Eternal over the temporal.”
--Bruce A. Ray, “Celebrating the Sabbath”

Convicting. How often I view time as mine, not God's.
ReplyDeleteYou're not the only one, Amy. I think we all struggle with this. The Sabbath is a good weekly reminder for us that in reality, ALL that we have, including "our" time, belongs to God.
